Actually I just got a sneak peak yesterday. I can't release the photos yet, but I will say that so far the initial renderings do not disappoint. 3 piece xmember, higher clearance mounts that are tucked up, and a solid good sized skid in the center. Combined with a tcase skid option and high clearance arms, I really don't see there being a better high end 3 link kit out there. This one should be easier to install over stiffeners as well. I can't wait. It will be mine! lol
Yes lol. Should be here Wednesday and my birthday is on Thursday so Happy birthday/Merry Christmas to me from me

Well since the cat is out of the bag - this one left for it's new home yesterday. Still need to sell the 8.8, but I haven't been actively trying yet and will most likely wait until I get the new rear in. I sold the front for a great price and have several wanting the rear for a great price as well. The new axles nearly pay for themselves after that. They are "used", but bought from Currie in May of this year. Got a good deal on them that was too good to pass after considering selling mine.


Front is a Rock Jock 44 - high pinion (this one was low), 3" thick wall tubing (Rubi is only 2.5x0.25), thicker C's, HD brackets all around, and uses the larger JK style gears only (much thicker, near 60 size), 1350 yoke. It's filled with 4.88s, ARB locker, Yukon chromos, Alloy USA outer seals, and has a Ruffstuff diff cover. The RJ44 also his a little bit higher clearance and better oil passages.
Rear is a Rock Jock 60 - hi pinion, 35 spline chromos, disk brakes, 4.88s, and an ARB as well. For those that maybe haven't seen them before, the design is pretty sweet. The tilt actually gives this 60 more clearance than even a standard 44.

Still will need to pick up a compressor for the ARBs. Anyone know of Cyber Monday deals going on right now for them? I was originally planning on getting a Power Tank for air, but since I picked these up I'm now thinking I'll just go with the twin ARB compressor.
And some more photos for you guys. This is the Cavfab steering. Comparison photo is of the Cavfab, stock, and Ironman 4x4 tie rods

Thanks! The rear is actually set up for a TJ so I'll need to cut the old mounts off and add new leaf/shock mounts. Going to take advantage of the BF sales today. Considering the Ruffstuff 2+ ubolt eliminators to get a small stretch out of the rear.
Edit: actually the TNT ubolt eliminators might be a nicer choice plus they come with shock mounts.
