I just have to ask. Did you replace the "Z" brackets at the rubber springs on the MOR/ryde with the sleaved "Z" brackets for the wet bolts? Your price sounds great especially if those "Z" brackets were replaced.

My reason for asking is that those "Z" brackets showed a significant amount of wear when I replaced mine. One of my rubber springs had to be replaced due to delamination. Because those spring "Z" brackets come in two pieces, they need to be replaced with the "Z" brackets joined (welded) together by a sleave to accomodate the "wet" bolt. Otherwise the "wet" bolt going through your shackle and "Z" bracket is worthless because the grease has nowhere to go, so it is just bolt on metal with no grease. The OEM arrange didn't even have bushings there.
