That list has nothing to do with being able to sell lift kits. Most people want a cheap bolt on quality lift. And were only going to give you the last trait. People can put their names on a list all day but like I've said before when it comes down to spending thousands. 80% of that list goes away.

Excellent news everybody! We were at the hardware store getting those super rare jam nuts (m24x1.5) for the steering upgrade, and guess what!!!

we found threaded rod in that size too (almost impossible to find). so now we don't have to mill and cut our own threads which will reduce the cost and time to make significantly!

One more shipment of heims and spacers and well put some pics of the steering upgrade on here and the facebook page for you guys to get your hands on!

LOL glad I was about to find out it was nice and rare for you. If it was easy and simple it would not be a Dodge.

Glad to hear you got something working on your side for once!

Sounds like tracking down parts for my 73' Plymouth satellite sebring. I'v had bad struts/(not so)shocks for a while waiting to lift the TRX since I got it

oh yes it was crazy. finding anything in that thread pitch in male form was impossible. weve had all the stuff to cut our own threads but the cost of labor and material would have been higher. well get the steering clevis's tig'd up this weekend hopefully and slap some teasers on here

So I'm interested in what you are planning on doing with the spindle? Custom built or using a stock spindle? Since if I'm reading this properly is a lt kit you need new spindles or have backup ones and IMO on the shock choice you're better off running with king fox or sway a way just bc I know they have a better reputation than FOA. For the price FOA can't be beat but I wouldn't run them.

And FYI guys I'm not trying to be a jerk either. Just done alot of research and was wondering about his mid-travel/lt kit not the lift kit.
