the much feared dipstick flange leak. I got lucky, and mine only required tightening the flange nut. The underside of my truck now needs a bath, but has plenty of rust prevention.

Thanks for the pictures Brandon.
Did the kit come with the drivers side braket as well? Where did you get it from? I think I saw it in a JC Witany catalog. Plus I pnly have 265's on right now but when need will get 285 at most, will the double be to much? I do like that though.

Brandon......I've never seen a Rough Country one like that. Looks exactly like the Superlift one! (pretty sure it is) I will post pics of my new Rough Country dual in a few days, waiting on some hardware that wasn't in the box when it arrived!

So it looks to me like the drivers side bracket is mounted to the u-bolts for the leaf springs. Is that correct?

Yep, loosen 1 nut slide bracket on bolt, tighten nut. Been like that for 5 years now, no problems.
