Rear shackle kit

I have read a lot about these velvet shackle kits for our trucks, but I cant find anyone that sells them. I know that BFG is suppose to make a set, but I cant find them on the net. anybody know where they are sold?

I don't think Velvet Ride is in business anymore but I do think there is a new company making them now. But of course I don't have the info. I will try to hunt it down for you.

Tim, I tried that link...broken. The only way I can get the link to work is google sulastic

https://www.sulastic.com/default.aspx

$300 is lot of $$ for those IMO. $200 Jobber price if you can get it.

Dont know what you're looking for exactly but these guys got good stuff and if they don't have what you're looking for I'm sure they would make them. I'm buying the 3" front reversal when i do my D60 up front this winter and the rear flip also.

Thanks for the help. I was aware of the sky manufacturing, but I dont think that they are in to making these parts, but you never know. I wonder why velvet went out of business. Seems like a lot of people liked the set-up. I guess I might have to try the new ones and see if they are as good.

Does anyone know of a place that has any like the original velvet. It looks like this new comapny makes it for the back where as the velvet was installed on the front of the rear shackle. I wonder how much of a difference that makes?

It's for re-sellers that buy in quantity or have a high volume relationship with them. Sometime you can get the lower price by asking or BS'ing them.
