Injector time. Dragonfly, Integrity or Long Life?

Truck in sig. 120k mi on it. Got 2 injectors going south. Stock fueling, just a Bullydog programmer will add better filtration to help the new injectors.
Not going to do remans.
Think I've narrowed it down to either Industrial Dragonfly or Long Life, or Integrity injectors. All are 60-75 hp injectors.
Haven't seen any reviews of the latter 2. Anyone have any good experience with the Long Life or Integrity injectors. Both offer a better warranty but I wouldn't expect to need a 12mo or 24 mo warranty. Truck only gets about 10k mi a year tops now as it's a third vehicle now.
I'll take any solid advice. Fuel mileage, reliability etc. Dropping $3k I'd rather not have to touch them for another 150k mi.
Thanks.

I would just say do a bunch of reading before you buy, I'm not saying any of the companies you listed are bad I'm just saying they are not on my list. That's not saying much but it is what it is.

For new injectors do you want BMS injectors, they can be had for about $23-2400. They are not the proper spray angle for an 06 but many use them with great success and they are cheaper. Or you can get new stockers enlarged and balanced.

Big names with good reps are

Exergy
BBI- Big Bang injectors (but they cost a fortune)
Formula 1 Diesel is a sponsor here/Flux injectors

I highly recommend Scheid Diesel for your injectors. They are also a site sponsor here and all of their shops are Bosch Certified and come with a warranty. They can also rebuild your injectors. Scheid Diesel has been in the diesel performance business for over thirty (30) years and all their work is done in house.

Here is their toll free number if you are interested:

Well have done a crapload of reading already and now adding more to the mix! Haha
I did talk to Scheid and their 50hp Lightning injectors are remans the guy said. Not interested in remans but I realize they're a good company. Did not ask him about BMS injectors.
I did look at Exergy BMS 50 hp with the right (close to right) 128 deg spray angle. Had kind of discounted them originally due to being SAC nozzles which from my limited understanding are stronger nozzles but hazy due to the additional fuel left in the nozzle after each inj event and higher egts.
The BMS at Exergy are the best price for sure.

I've tossed out F1, BBI, DDP etc due to price. Not going to drop $3k + for injectors for a stock truck.

Well gotta throw the BMS in the mix for sure now.

Anyone hear of these newer injectors though? The long Life's or the Integritys?

FWIW, the SAC is a stronger nozzle and at 50 hp the issues with running dirtier or hotter is not going to be huge at the 50 hp level, it will be a factor if you move up. Issue is when going to a 143 from a piston design for a 124 you should reduce timing, the angle change has caused haze and more smoke for some along with some other small side effects. The up side is the price, they can be had in the $2100-2400 range new.
Getting a New true CR 124then having it punched to a 50, flowed, balanced is going to put you in the $3k range.

Well opted out of the BMS 50hp sac injectors and pulled the trigger on a set of Industrial 60's from TC diesel.
Not virgin injectors but new Bosch. At $375 ea from TC and no core charge seems like a good deal for a solid injector.
Thanks all for the input.

Had them in for a thousand miles now. They are fine. Truck runs like new again.
Surprised no smoke at all on stock power levels. Thought there would be a little?
Runs hard with the programmer turned up.
Good service and price from TC diesel!

Just stumbled on my old thread.
Only put 17kmi on the truck since I last posted, but the injectors (as expected) are still fine.
Note I added a 2 micron filter between the OE filter and the IP when I did the injectors.
