Default high angles cv would be great if some one want to fab them

The guy said that there is not that much 2005-2011dakota sold compare to the ram but if the mailling list is getting full R&D would probabely look at it...and they liked to have some one to pass buy for fast mesurement to see if an actual existing kit sould fit..and if not they get their hand them self on a truck built the lift..and sold the truck lifted....and sale the kit

SEND AS MUCH E MAIL AS POSSIBLE TO DAVE!!!

Just got an email back from Dave, and first off he saw this thread and the "walmart" companies line really seemed to rub him the wrong way... so thanks for that 06dak287

anyways like he said in the email, they are a company and have to make money...duh, so they are after an list of potential buyers for a $1200ish lift... so somebody may need to start up another interest thread so we can get a real up to date list, but we have to remember they havent done the r&d on this yet so its hard to tell if they will actually want to make one

well dave gave me his advice and told me to remember they havent done the r&d on this yet so its hard to tell if they will actually want to make one ...but i dont understand why nobody jump it this opportunity NOBODY MAKES ONE YET!!!!

EX there is a lot of ram but people have like 20 brand and pick juste one...if you are the only one to offer one...YOU WILL DO ALOT OF $$$

and 06dak287 you are right and the walmart line is fun and they know we are gonna pay wat its worthed and not 3000$

ok a couple things....in no way was my comparison towards his company. a better business ethic would be to make a lift kit for someone no matter how many people are interested. if a customer wants a lift kit built. even if its custom. it shouldnt matter how many people are interested. because THAT customer is the one in the shop right now with money.

and another thing. WHO said youll b dropping 3k on a kit? thats the long travel kits TC sells for the toyotas. those are highly engineered full race kits. i was merely showing you guys the axles they use for the long travel kits. and that there is nothing special about our trucks that arent the same as any other mid size that has a kit. the ONLY thing stopping our trucks from having a kit is the popularity. everyone keeps thinking its hard to this or that. or this or that cant be done on our trucks because some how our design is SO much different. cmon guys! you guys DO know that 7 ford engineers designed our entire truck.....

this has nothing to do with the difficulty of making something. it has to do with big time companies not wasting their time for just one or 2 of us. and smaller guys like me working out of a garage and a part time college kid budget.
