Lol I'm good for that!Originally Posted by Sal-XK
Which reminds me..... hey Mike, is welding still required with the improved kit?
If I don't have my welder in time ill just borrow a friends...
I'm already saving. Throwing $75/month aside to build up a fund that'll ease the pain. I want to do JBA ucas and new bushings at the same time.... so I'm looking at a hefty bill in parts. But being that the vehicle will be 6-7 years old, I'm going to replace all the wear items while its apart so I'm not nickeled and dimed over the next few years thereafter with maintenance.
Those struts won't be cheap at all but worth the money.
Sounds like a plan and a good excuse to visit NJ
I am in line for the new lift as well.

To answer your question, Matt: yes, the new design will still require that crossmember modification. As I said, the basic concept of the kit is unchanged. It's the details of certain parts and the rear arm setup that are altered.
I should also say that I'm very excited about folks like you all pushing the limits with these rigs. I am convinced it is a growth industry, as it were, because people just don't know about it.
In that regard, you might want to grab the August issue of Four Wheeler Magazine when it is available. Has an article of interest.
