423XJ will be posting a flex shot on IG today for those who doubted the upper link.

with a 12" travel shock at full droop and full bump there was still plenty of clearance for the upper link.

Curious, are there any plans for skid plates that will connect with the long arm kit or work with it?

I have the artec LCA mounts. Hopefully no modification needed. I don't forsee there being any issues.

I had these mounts on my old axle and the OG 3 link fit just fine. No issues

For those of you who may be interested...we decided to make a leap forward in the construction of these kits, as well as our Stage 1 3 link and any future item we make out of steel plate.

Essentially the industry standard for steel used in applications such as bumpers or X-members is A36 Steel. A36 has a maximum tensile yield strength of 80ksi. We discussed this among ourselves and decided to take a step forward and make all of our x-members, and any future bumpers out of TP-100 Steel. Making EVERYTHING out of TP-100 (bumpers, entire x-member (anything plate)) is essentially unheard of in the aftermarket world. We want to set a higher standard and we want to be able to offer you the absolute most beef product possible. This will NOT affect our prices at all going forward, it is something we feel is a worthy investment to have another advantage over the other guys..

Thank you guys for your patience as we get these kits finished up. We had nearly 30 pre orders, we are going to be extremely busy over the next few weeks.

Also, stay tuned for another big announcement regarding the Alpha Kit.

Thanks,

CavFab

I would love to see a side shot of it. Just of David's jeep parked. See how much clearance it has over the level 2 kit.
