I doubt that would ever happen with this particular lift kit.


It's been designed around a doubler ( Dana 300 and NP203 ) and a rear coil conversion.


Not everyone is up to that level of modification. Especially when rear leaves can flex quite well with a few modifications.


The front is probably very marketable .... but I suspect when people see the parts involved --- they're gonna say "too expensive"


Last time I put up a few sneak shots ... someone decided to just shout out the entire directory and I'm too lazy to move individual pictures to a new directory, just to avoid that hassle again.


Maybe later tonite if I am motivated.

I have seen some of your pictures.
Imagine a bolt on super performance kit for the highest offroading levels. There is no such thing yet. How many times do we here " Ah, he has a ........., he spent a lot of money for it." I think it would sell.

Joe:
What do you mean by this?

doubler ( Dana 300 and NP203) What trucks came with those?

Thanks
Mike

Interesting! School for an Engineer can be done here in 4 years though it's really tough to do. I thought european countries had some hands on experience in your studies? When I was in Germany they had practical experience in their studies.
I have a Masters in Mechanical Engineering from Notre Dame. Only took me 8 years! LOL

In italy it's different, the university is public (FREE) and there are not so many labs and structures like in Germany. It's very renomated for the toughness of its theory because it's the only way to keep common mortals far. It took me seven years to get my degree in materials engineering because i have also always worked at the shop.

Yes, I worked my way through school also...
I believe this thread has been hijacked! By you, Joe and I. Oh well no one has to read our ramblings at the end. All the information was given in the beginning. At least we helped the Guy!
I am really interested in Joe's build now. Sounds like he's really going over the top! I just bought my lift off him because he had the best price. Maybe I should have waited for a Custom kit!
I know he has carried many brands of lifts like Rock Krawler, TNT Customs, RE and so on... So I imagine he has seen what works when it comes to building his own... This should be interesting!
