I saw the chatter on FB too. I was always wanting a SL, but honestly I wasn't sure if I would have ever gotten the chance to buy one..
Now from what I understand is Rustys has a 4" but its basically the SL + a couple of their parts, so that means its off the market as well?
I also hear there is a Zone kit, but from what I hear Zone is the "cheapo" brand to go with. But I have no experience just web wheeler talk I have seen.
Post on FB says kolak has some left and is excepting payments on them. Just passing it along I know not everyone here is that FB page.

I can't swing a kit now anyways....
Back in January Rough Country told me they had plans for a kit.... so I hope they come through. If there are really no lift kit options that will have an impact on my vehicle plans. Hopefully when these tires are shot ill be going to 4-5" and 33s
Glad mine arrived last week!
Ill try to take some pics along the way of the install.

I would see if Marlin from JBA knows anything since he has a daily working relationship with them. I certainly would be willing to pick it up but I am sure SL will want way to much for the plans and copy write.
Good point... this will effect his 6" lift!
with the proper R&D couldn't you get a better kit built Jon?
Looks like it's time for us all to go SFA baby!
There's a lot that goes into an IFS kit....Quote:

I happen to know someone with in driving distance from you that has one :D Shouldn't be too difficult and I would have a few suggestions/mods to the kit!Quote:

It was a ploy to sell off some inventory to decrease money tied up in overhead....
Kind of like when businesses put out a sign in front that says "Going Out For Business!!!!" Everyone rushes to buy everything there because they think they are going out OF business, not going out FOR business. It's all marketing man.Quote:

So they are not going bankrupt and not ending the WK/XK lift?
I'm still not sure where the information originally came from? Usually something like that will show up with some google searching
I know I stocked up on 4xgaurd gear when I heard they were goin out of business haha.
Is this real life?
Rumours about SL going bankrupt have been out there for a few years now. After I purchased the XK lift, they claimed that they were working on the rear trailing arm issue and would announce something in early 2012. I have heard nothing since.
It would be a pity if they stopped making anything for the XK - great truck even with a 2" lift but with the 4" lift its not only more capable, its intimidating to other drivers (and we all like that!).
As far as I know superlift fixed that issue and sells new lower control arms with their kits.Quote:
