Well, I never really looked at our steering system, but you will want at least a single with 35" tires, preferably a dual, with a dual you would be able to run TSL boggers, and the wheel would still feel pretty smooth even at interstate speed, as long as they stayed good.

Just have him look at it and see what they would be able to mock up, realistically, you can get a dual stabilizer for a dana 44 for around $100 shipped, so it would not add too much to the cost of a kit, less if the did a single.

The blog is not very impressive to me, I hope this is legit, but right now i wouldn't commit to a site like that. I will believe it when i see some pics of these kits

If they wanted to make me even think it was real I would not have used a free blog site. I would have made a facebook account so pictures could be loaded easily, and maybe load some info about this company that no one has ever heard of.

Hahaha...its great to be skeptical, but no offense eimer, I doubt this guy put the blog up for you. If you don't believe it, move on to something else. I looked at the blog and I see he says he made the blog today because the site isn't up yet...doesn't sound like he's hiding anything to me, just looks like a small business in the makes of trying to expand to something new. For the rest of us, I say we move on and give it a chance.

To Bruno...
Ok, sounds good about the steering stuff, I will bring it up next time I talk to him and definitely when I drop off my truck next friday.

Desert, I stand behind you buddy. Just don't prove me wrong lol.. My uncle started his own small buisness and then expanded on the internet. His sales dropped because people didn't know the buisness outside of the local's in the town. He couldn't drum up enough buisness so he dropped his site. With that being said I am believing that this guy is going through the same thing..

Thanks backwoods...that's exactly the poin I have been trying to make and you did a great job puttin it into words. Being that my brother has two companies he started and a few other friends and relatives of his/ours have done the same, I will stand by this guy and help promote the work he has put into it until I have a reason to believe otherwise.

Default you do what you want.

But me i would not install anything without proper information, see the product live or pictures and what are the strut? how are made arms? tubular or square piping monocoque???930 joints? price???

i just hope desert rat that this kit does not turn like a nightmare like with airbagit.

I will purchase that kit after he show what it got!!!
