When Jeepology said pictures didn't do this thing justice, he wasn't lying. Way beefier than I was expecting. Even more excited to get this installed now, but it might have to wait. Was planning on doing it this weekend, but I need to take care of my brakes badly.

The only "problem" and it's SUPER minor is that the arms have some scratches down to bare metal. It was packaged pretty well, but when you have 96 pounds of metal some scratches were expected. Again very minor in my eyes. Speaking of which, what kind of paint and what color are you using? I'd like to keep it this color.

Here are a couple pictures. Not the greatest, but all I have is my phone.

Ill have to look at the paint can to see what exactly it is.

Im glad you got your kit in Fitz. Im not sure what would have happened in shipping to cause the scratching..we try and package these things to withstand brown santa on a bad day.

Glad to have it! I'm not sure what caused it either. Maybe the side uni-body brackets? That's the only thing I think could have caused any scratches. Either way, it's no big deal. I'll get them touched up and be good to go.

Just got a fat reenlistment bonus and thinking about pulling the trigger. What frame stiffeners work easiest with the kit? Any issues with 3.5 inch lift? Military or forum discount?

Hey CBS, the frame stiffners that most companies offer should work fine with the kit, the mounting holes are slotted to allow a bit of adjustability in the mounting.

As far as a forum and or military discount let me see what we can do, I'll keep you posted.

Right now we aren't looking at producing a 4 link. You could however modify your crossmember from us with an additional upper link. It may be something we consider in the future, but at this time we are focusing on the 3 link.

thank you for the reply. i will keep a watch on these and see if you develop a 4 link. and honest opinion, would a 3 link be ok for a daily driver?

That sounds good. Ready to buy now, so please let me know as soon as you figure the discount out.
