The only problem with your kit is that it is merde. Also, I've read that the owner of the shop is a tete du merde.

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a lift kit for this truck. I was kinda hoping that the hacked up Ram kit would have been something more, but I guess it isn't as I've not heard any more information on it. I don't offroad with my truck, but I want it to at least look like a 4x4 without damaging the stock parts. To be honest though, I wouldn't mind just taking it to someone to do a SAS.

We'll see. I think the next thing I am interested in is the rear disc conversion. But I don't want to be the guinea pig.

we are currently fabricating a kit so no need to pay me to build you a custom kit. if you want to speed up the process on our prototype you can pay for a kit and youll be the first one with it before we "officially" release it to the public. We havent messed around with tire fitment but were hoping to shove 33s withouth rub and 35s which require trimming. if you want to expedite the kit were currently making then pm me and we can talk. if not just hang in there a little longer while we wait for the 3rd party to ship the rest of our fab parts.

@Cuban- Whos kit you talking about? and which owner? im not the one that cut up that ram kit. you must have me mistaken. I can assure everyone that our kit is far from "merde"

@dakkkota- Ill let you in on a secret....ours is higher than 3"

man you gotta stop spreading my info to these companies. AIM would never think to use uniballs because they dont know crap about the REAL off road scene.

good luck getting 10 people with cash to buy a kit before its even made...especially from AIM

how about this....ill custom fabricate it anyway you want it....and you only need to find one person to pay for materials....hows THAT!
What kind of custom fabrication can you do? Is it just a side thing or do you do it professionally?

Im a mechanic for the government professionally which also requires me to fabricate and weld. but my true passion is off road fabrication since i grew up around the off road racing scene in Nevada.

We do pretty much any kind of metal fabrication. cages, lifts, bumpers, racks, lowering, bagging, you name it. we have metal fabrication experience and mechanical experience in general so from there. just about anything can be accomplished

like jeep style ones? actually i have a CAD drawing for a exo-cage for my dakota. looks sick and would make it pretty damn indestructible but with the weight vs. cost. it just wouldn't be feasible

but just some generic along frame sliders wouldnt be hard to make at all. they are pretty much just modified step rails lol. once we get this lift on the market if there is an interest in sliders we would love to do some.
