I bought these to replace worn standard suspension bumpers. Note: These are NOT fenders. In fact, they are the active part of the suspension and provide a progressive torsion bar suspension function. I wanted the Z71 version as I thought they would be a bit stiffer. In my hand they squeezed together easily. A good standard OE I had was very solid. Installation was easy, pull out the old one, use some soap or windshield lube, really spit something out and pop it into the frame shell. I use the edge of a flathead screwdriver to press the bar with the suspension weight on it into the center. Took me about 5 minutes per side and didn't have to jack up the truck. Haven't ridden many miles on them yet, but seems like it's gotten over the bump from left to right (one was really busted, the other wasn't).
