I would be more than happy to let you use mine for the r and d. Im working on getting it back to decent shape (previous owner treated her like s***) but maybe next spring/summer/whever you would want, she'd be available for as long as you want. Just a thought. Plus it would be fun to drive it cross country and hit up some wheelin spots

After doing a bunch of looking around I actually see there aren't very many D300 flip kits. The ones I find are ridiculously expensive, leave the top of the case bulky making it even harder to tuck against the floor board, and run mechanical shifters that dont appear to work in our XJs. Who would be interested in a FST D300 flip and shift kit?

ok well ive been trying to get a hold of him for a while again. im kind of loosing my patients. i tried supporting a small business, and getting myself what looked to be an awesome kit, but im seriously doubting the legitimacy of froehlich suspension. its been 3 months sense ive paid him and i havent seen anything from him, and have only talked to him a handful of times. i understand that things come up and everyone has a life to live, but ive been assured several different times that he was shipping things out the next day, or finding out if they were shipping and ive never received a returned call or anything. So if this is a real business....then where is the customer service, and where is what i paid for?

I do really have to publically apologize to you Mike. You have been very patient, more patient then you should have to be and I really appreciate your willingness to help outa small business. I work a daytime job in which my company recently started sending me to Holland 2 weeks out of every month and verizon numbers dont work over here. Thats why it is so hard to get ahold of me some weeks. I am able to keep in contact with a business partner that helps me get things shipped and keeps orders in progress while I am away. He's newer at this then I am and is still learning his way around. Hopefully when we all get more used to our new positions and travel this will go more smoothly. You can try calling him and see what he can help you with. It might shock him a little cause its not really in his "job discription" to diretly deal with customers. Here is his phone number.

You can definitely do the D300 flip by yourself. Not too difficult. I also prefer manual linkages over cable. My doubler kit costs 450 right now.

The 3 link goes for 900 and 4 link for 950. I have the option of ordering poly joints for the axle end of the LCA's for 50 dollars more. I might not be offering that any more though as ballistic is always on back order and usually for months at a time (another reason mike's kit is not on schedule).

Speaking of that. I do have extra joints mike that Im gonna send your way so we dont have to wait for the poly joints.

thank you for the response and thoughtfulness of sending me extra lower joints. i did recieve a shipping conformation yesterday and it should arrive at my house friday. i am still looking forward to the kit and i cant wait to get it on the jeep. And thanks again for having patients with me.
