I think I like what I see here. thoughts?

 

Pretty sweet price, and its nice that you can cut it down to what size you want. I just assume do long arms though.

 

Cool use the stock uppers

 

you'll never be able to fully droop your long arms anyway. mid arms will work fine
I wonder if he'll sell the components separately. I feel like this can easily be turned into a 3 link

 

Sure looks like there is a lot improving that can be done.

Not a fan of all the rubber bushings on a 3 link, allows the axle to move more than id like.

Not a fan of using the one stock factory upper control arm bolt to keep the axle from moving around.

Its not adjustable when installed. (I prefer at least an uca with reverse threaded ends so you can fine tune caster without removing anything)

They don't give you too much info or pictures of how the upper control arm is mounted. I see 2 tabs in the picture, not sure where those go.

I have been thinking about building a "kit" that copies what I did to my xj. But without the sources many larger companies have I can't keep costs down. And I would like to come up with some idiot proof brackets for it, but Without the right tools to make a bunch of them, my quality control wouldn't be something I would be proud to sell.

 

Dude, you could have a high cost kit, and your name by itself would probably sell pretty well.

 

Thanks for the input KTM. I was mostly interested in the brackets. Then I was going to use 3 link mounts from Clayton. Make a simple cross member then use everything else from ruffstuff since they're down the street. I'm shooting to replicate something close to your mid arm 3 link so I'd be interested if you made a kit. Or at least pieces of one

 

I'd like to see where the upper goes as well. If it used all hard joints it would rock, but that would drive up the price too. It looks like it mounts in almost the same spot as my RK stuff.

 

Looks like a start. Still a lot of work to complete. And since KTM will not build them for us I personally rather get the RK , at least its complete, adjustable and somehow proven to work. I dont know if all that work is worth the $400 in price difference.

 

I'm just interested in the control arms brackets. I'm trying to get out of buying claytons pricey cross member
