Lift kit interest thread
I’m stocked on making different products for the Dodge/ Mitsubishi brands. The first off road racing team I was invalid with in the 80’s ran a Dodge Ram charger and a Dodge power wagon. My friend Dan Fresh had a factory Mitsubishi sponsorship to run the Raider in the SCORE Stock Mini class and got 1st place at the Baja 1000.
I talked to Dan this weekend to see what is good and bad about this truck so I can gain more incite on any problems I can work on before I put out anything and also be able to provide a great product right out of the gate so we don’t have any returns. Dan told me this truck was extremely strong and he run this thing very hard and would not break, so he had nothing but good things to say about this truck. Remember he raced this truck in a stock class were you can’t change or straighten any of the suspension.
I will provide FREE installation on the donor trucks that helps with the program.
We have been talking to people in the industry about provide a CAD file to reduce the donor vehicle (hopefully from Orange County, Calif.) down time for the final fitment.
Since the kit makes the wider will you be providing wider fenders? I am very interested in the 3'' lift of the 2wd. So hopefully someone can donate there truck.
I say that video on youtube 1st in Baja 1000 stock class and 3rd the year after

At first I thought I would need a 2WD and a 4WD truck to work off of to get each kit right but Dan Fresh told me both trucks have the same pick up points so we would only need a 4WD truck to prototype the 3 different setups. We would still need 5 customers of each style to order there kits with a payment of half the amount to start.

I think our challenge is gonna be finding 5 4x2 that want a lift...
Once you mentioned You Tube, I did a search and found this link.

Here is a 2nd video.

Dan gave me a ton of insight about this truck and what is possible.
I also talked to Deaver Springs and we are going to work together on designing a full replacement pack for this truck.

the deavers are what im really looking forward to. the front end can all me whipped up with sheet metal but the leafs have to be made custom unless your linking it which i dont want to do....yet!
i was measuring my buddies deavers off his ranger and seeing how i could retro fit them on our trucks but it required cutting the shackles and relocating a few things. i would rather have a bolt up deaver pack made with some longer shackles. that would be nice. especially if they made the 64" pack

Another Email I got today from Brenthel Industries
We could build you a true long travel lift kit with usable travel for $3000 (Kit) + $1200 (Shocks) = $4200. This would be a truc long travel kit.
We will offer a 15% discount if you can get a group buy of 5 or more. Each would need $500 down for a deposit. The kit would take us 90 days to develop.
Let us know if this is something you have interest in and we will gladly get something going.
Attached are a few pics of vehicles and CAD work we have done.
