I'm excited for sure. That skid/crossmember look awesome. Was just think about how nice it would be to run their fancy bushings and have a long arm setup.

Looks good. Use Johnnie joints at both ends and use a 3rd link instead of the Y links. Even if they are using their movable Y links, I don't buy that concept.

I'm pretty excited to see their armor and what not, but Jesus Christ..Radius arms? As highly regarded of a company that they are you'd think they could step up and make a 3 link (or 4 link).

I know the radius arms aren't known as being the best but they have a much different design for there's. Here the radius arms they use on the TJ lift if anybody want to read about how they are different. I think they designed them much better than the typical radius arms you see on the market. There's a video in that link below as well. It's suppose to combine the handling of a 4 link and the articulation of a 3 link together. http://www.metalcloak.com/TJ-Lock-n-...ion-p/7075.htm

Hmmm. Seems like more parts to break. Or replace later. But a cool idea for sure.

lol radius arms.

and they created a "fix" for a problem that doesnt even need to exist if they released a 3 or 4 link, which they obviously have the ability to do.
