When I started this thread is when the kit actually started to be built. As far as we knew it was on our list but wasnt at the top, but is now.

I feel your pain. I just bought their 4" a month ago. Had I known about that or their new SA control arms I would have held off. Kinda feel I got gypped twice.

We are gonna make the most complete kit for the best prices possible. I will continue on with this thread to show updates.

new skid plate

why longer arms???? I think 32" is already pushing to long unless your building a pre runner.

my 2 cents...

with 4" of lift you can't use much longer shocks than 27", which leaves you around 3" of uptravel and need 3" of bumpstop.. they won't even come close to over extending the arms, plus they unseat the coils to the point of falling out... arms 10" longer than stock give a great ride, arent' gonna be snaging rocks as much and enough reach for 14" travel shocks if you relocate shock mounts to make it all useable flex/less bumpstop at a low lift height.

why be like all the other companies shoving useless looooong arms down everyones throat claiming "more flex" when they use the same length shock as a short arm lift... to make a comfortable ride on a rough hwy.

the man makes a good point, more constructive than "needs bigger tires or less lift."

We are gonna do a new skid. And the reason for the longer arms is when you do the 6 inch coils it will give you alot better suspension geometry.

Kit is together and just waiting on parts to come in.

Will get pics in a lil bit.

[lungbuster]

only at ride height and for on road ride, the longer arms put the kit unusable to those wanting to upgrade 3-4" kits.. arm drag city there, even shock length for 6"s' wont' over extend the shorter arms.

are we building a system for rocks and multipurpose or mall crawling people who complain about the ride, and blame the short arms instead of the shocks?
