$1800

if it had coilovers maybe or even if it came with dom tubing yea yea welded seam is just fine for it but $1800! it should be chromed for that kinda $$$ $That\'s Gay$ the concept :ladysman: ill build my own first!! :thumb: until then

Ill set up a King Coil over Fourlink that will out perform that one for $1500. I saw that on the pirate board too. I thought it was a clean job but that sounds like a bit much. Maybe there is something I'm not seeing.

nice set up...the money side make me want to

I agree,,I think a 4 link and king coils would be a run for the money and way trick..The only think is the coolness of having front coils..

Love the concept of a kit. Man, that would sure cut back on sending scrap steel to the salvage yard and grinding welds! But the $1,800, whoa, pretty steep! I'm sure with a little time and competition that will come down!

I think that a lot of the cost of that kit comes from items like the adjustable coil spacers and hiem joints. All of the parts are high quality and that comes at a premium.

Off Road Solutions is working on a coilover kit for the back of pickups too. If it is anything like the kit below that they made for a customer it should be super trick.

one thing that bugs me is using anything theswings away or disconects on the suspention. Once it lets go you only got the wieght of the tire giving you traction. If it was still in the travel of any type of spring it would be putting more pressure on the contact patch.

Rock_Starr · « **Reply #8 on:** May 03, 2003, 10:08:45 AM »

in theory the oppossing (compressed) tire, in combination with the spring and solid axle apply a certain precenage of downforce to the other (extended) tire.

HMMM never thought of that. I now change my view on the subject.
However I don't got $1800 and would rather fab myself.

I forked out roughly $500.00 for the rear for mine,most expensive parts were heim joints(220.00 for 4),I had to shorten driveline alittle and inboard the rear frame rail's

I'll have to dig up some more but here's a 1.
I diddnt want to copy anybody so I ran my top link with 2 heims bhind cab and a TRE off center axle,work pretty good so far only been on 2 run's last run I broke were TRE screwed into my top link didnt damage TRE.O'well you learn from your mistake's

over_rev · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2003, 10:02:17 AM »

better view of top link mounted with arrow pointing to failure point,this time I took a 1.5'' solid bar and taped it to fit my TRE.no axle wrap.

I used a big ol' 1" Hiem with the overtravel (or whatever they call it)bushings that reduce it to a 5/8" bolt at the housing:
