No, I built my first set of LA's before they started selling their X-member.

Do you sell your crossmember by itself? That thing is sick. I would buy the whole kit from you but I am pretty sure I will be going above 7.5 inches at some point.

Seems to me from the pics that the long arms will hit the unibody on up travel...

The kit is good for 4" min to 7.5" maximum lift height.

Great looking product, just a couple quick questions;

You said you could make the cross member to fit with stifeners, is there an added charge because it's a custom order?

I dont have any experiance with long arms, but would it be better to have stifeners with a long arm syestem?

Frame stiffeners are a nice addition for a rock crawler but they aren't manditory just because LA's are part of your plan. It all boils down to personal preference really.

Since most off the shelf stiffeners are 3/16" there's really a minimal increase in the materials used, so no extra charge.
