If it is in fact a Rough Country lift that has been hacked up, then why not just get the Rough County Lift and do it yourself. I'm not a proficient welder, but my father-in-law and my uncle are both master welders. I just don't see how they can charge an extra $900 for what they did. I still want to see what it will do. But I will assume that since it's been awhile since the member who had it installed has actualy posted anything about it, something has broken, and they had to fix it. But again, that's a guess. I look forward to the Project Dirt lift, and hopefully that will work. If not, no biggie. I would love my Raider to have a lift, but won't pay (IMO) and absorbent amount of money for something like that. Hence the reason why I'm changing my brake pads in my wife's jetta this weekend instead of paying the $400 the dealer is asking (absorbent!!).

my guess is that they started off an RCX existing kit....took the final ****ty product...bring the ''2 prototypes crossmembers and custom drop diff'' to a welding shop anf fabbed a copy paste version of it one piece.

no just that this guy pays the cost price and sale it the retail price.

but if you hacked it your self you might save on shipping and thats it.

Well please forgive me. I guess I hadn't thought about it that much. I guess it's a great price. I'll go out and buy two since it is such a great deal. :-D I had forgot that the picture we saw was of the prototype. Guess it's not a bad deal. Will definitely be paying closer attention.

Thanks for setting me straight.

BTW Ericemery, I work for the US Coast Guard. I technically do work for free.

Right now Projekt Dirt is working with our CAD designer to stress test our product. We are also in the process of trademarking and corporation status. It takes a little time to bring you guys the quality product you deserve. Meanwhile. Check out this guys Jack my Ride stuff. it could be a good product and it diffidently is the ONLY product so far. Im putting together a Facebook page so you guy can post stuff and well put updates and teaser pics up. Thanks for hanging in there...
