JJ's, no rear track bar, rear truss, 4 link front with long uppers and lowers + track bar, works with 2.5" - 4" springs. as far as skid plates go, i dunno a flat skid would be nice but complicates things which makes price go up. Maybe make it work with the factory skid or any other skid that is same size or smaller.

Use a skid plate that bolts to the frame, and has the lang arm bolt to the skid plate, no welding, make it a bolt on kit. Just an idea

I just don't know what to say here......A 4 link'd Super 35. What an idea.

make the link mounts separate from the skid.
Do a crossmember for trans / TC suport.
then an easy to remove skid.

single tri rear, 3 link front. No radius arms.

I have more ideas, but it's not my product...

Now THAT sounds promising. Combined with your guys' always-competitive pricing, and that would win. But the control arms HAVE to use rubber or double johnny joints. It's what the customer is looking for.

I figured everyone would be hard on a 35, but we are not really gonna have any money in it. I was gonna try to find a 44 or 8.8 but we are really on a freakin too tight timeline. I think once we get back from the Badlands we will prolly do a motor swap and some tons. Just have to get a start on it.

So far we have the jeep running again, links cut, bungs welded in for links and most of the link tabs cut and bent and welded together. Bumpers are on the jeep 1/14 bl is on and new trackbar mount has been drilled and installed. Hopefully gonna have axles, gears and lockers here tommorrow or Monday. I will get some pics of all the goodies as they arrive. Oh yeah picked up some used seats too. Cage should be here today or tommorrow also.

For the guys asking about installation it will be all bolt on. NO WELDING!!!!
I think we might try to make it for the guys that want to run stock skid and also offer an aftermarket flat belly pan too. But no welding will be required but there will be plenty of drilling to do.

Money is decent, could be alot better ( I hope someone important is reading this).j/k. Actually I never filled out an app here. I have a good friend working in sales and he moved on to be a fireman and I had always been into wheeling and building rigs and had the knowledge so I kinda just fell into it. Luck of the draw I guess. If we keep expanding like we have been we may need a few more sales guys.

Good job, great group of people to work with, but sometimes you get some mad cust and it can be a pain in the you know.

if everything is bolt on, then you are keeping the track bar in the rear?
