It will be budget minded, but with plenty of strength and durability to withstand a beating. Prices haven't been decided yet.

Brian has a few more things in the bag of goodies that will hopefully be popular. I am working on a website for him right now. Should be up in a month or so.

You could expect short arms, maybe some bumpers, Brian already makes and sells racks on here, sliders.

Thickness is most likely going to be 250 yes?

Seperation on the links?
Passenger driver side mount on the upper?
Why not 7/8s with 3/4 bore?
Arm lengths?

Luke, the material ranges from 0.188 to 0.375", I'll give Dave the final specs once its all done. Lower links are about 36", upper about 38-39" if I recall. Driver's upper. Axle end seperation is factory upper/lower, frame end seperation is ~4", not yet burned in final. Heims are 7/8" Ruff Stuff.

That will work for taller lifts.
What will you do for the 3 inch lift crowd?
sounds good so far.

Make the arms smaller. Im only gonna be at around 4.5"
The arms will have some adjust-ability. Long term though im gonna stay 4.5 and maybe bump up to 37s once I get the axles to handle it.

I see no reason why you couldn't run the same stuff on a 3" lift.

The upper arm may have to have a small bend in it to clear the frame rail but other than that...

That's what I was thinking.

So are you cutting of the passenger UCA mount?
