Thought I'd post a quick review on this topic aside from Alcan. I didn't feel like waiting or spending $$ on Alcan so purchased the dobinson 5+2 pack from z1 on their black froday sale. Happy to report they ride pretty good and seem to be good quality. Only been on road but they feel nice. I'm coming from ome packs that rusted and broke too so a nice improvement. I've got prg shackles on the middle hole and am at about 3.5" lift I'd say.
I've got full armor and a hefty tire carrier out back for reference.
Side note, picked up the longer dobinson ims rear shocks too and they are way nicer than the bilstein 5125's I had. I'm battling the rust and replacing what I can too. Suspension is done front and rear for a few more years.
Pics for reference.

Stainless catback and new rims go on this week. I'll post up new pics..breathing some life back into this old girl.ImageImage
