measure twice before you drill. and get a professional alignment when you're done.

oh, and have fun. take pics.

a guy had a kit for sale I offered $400 and he said ok, granted it was a used kit and missing some of the hardware but none of the pieces, I sent him the money via paypal and he never responded for a week and I kept sending emails I heard from him twice and never got anything, so I said the hell with it and turned it over to paypal and filed a claim with them. Just pisses me off I have dealt alot on the internet and never had this. I'll spend $800 to fly up to the northeast to punch him in his ********** if this all goes bad, so basically i am out the $400 til paypal figures it out.......not very thrilled

so if anyone else has any thoughts or a heads up before I tear into this, did not know who all has had experience with this kit.

Thanks
Mark

No advice sorry, but are you selling your old kit?

wow sorry about that JF thing. if it ends up working out and you get the kit you may be able to sell some of the pieces. i know i would love to find a cheap set of long arms to upgrade to.

i would love for it to turn out that way, i mean its the complete kit he just did not have all the nuts and bolts kind of thing. If he were to ship it to me I would cancel my claim on paypal and I have told him that. I have my RE short arms listed in the for sale section and some people have shown some interest in them so we'll see what happens there I will keep you in mind. And if I end up with the other kit as well I will definitely pass on the savings to a fellow CF member and possibly even help with install depending on where it goes.

so new update, long arm kit is one will try to get some pictures up soon. As of right now I am not a very big fan of paypal as they have been unable to return funds to me even though they have ruled the whole incident in my favor.
The Rustys kit went on well, need to get the adj track bar on to be completely done but the oeverall hardest part was cutting off the lower control arm mounts with my sawsall as I did not remove the front axle to do so, I acutally install on the ground. there cross member is rather nice and it rides a millions time better on the road and flexs quite well for the setup that I have.
