Default Question about our new sponsor

I'm wanting to do a refresh to my suspension bushings and was looking around for a polyurathane bushing kit for that purpose, so I was excited when I noticed Nolathane is a sponsor, but on their website they have a total of 1 product for our particular vehicles.

Are they planning on adding additional products for our trucks, or is it just a generic sponsorship?

IDK anything about Nolathane. For Poly bushings I stick with what works... Polybush > Polybush are the world leader in Polyurethane Suspension Bushes and Components. - Polybush
Call L8, I think the DII part number is KIT 20 (Orange). Good Luck!

Thanks that helps a lot. After my last encounter with Lucky 8, I'll be using them for everything I can.

Brit part makes a complete poly bush set. I picked it up for around 60 bucks from paddock. So far I've installed the radius arm and front sway bushings.

Jeff, how'd you get the old ones out? I replace a set of leaf spring bushings with poly a few months ago. Took me 10 hrs with a plasma cutter, various sockets, press, hammer, air chisel, and half a dozen sawzall blades. Swore I'd never do bushings again without an oxy acetylene setup to burn them out.

Oh, I forgot the 5 ton jaw puller that I pulled the threads out of.

X1 ................ Polybush are the best, the DB's for D2 and others and they can be bought in varying grades and hardness.

I'm no expert, but c'mon... they're all solid pieces of polyurethrane... as long as it fits, is there really that much of a difference between companies? A PolyBush.co.uk set is like $300+ compared to britparts $60
