Pics 4" lift!!!

Duner, thanks for posting more pics. Looks like we are on the same page. I was looking today at a Speedway catalog trying to find uppers that would work. I have all the other brackets and mounts figured out. Just kinda iffy about the upper length and mounting. I also sent you a pm. Thanks again for the pics

The brackets are a totally different ball game than you would think. I did all of the brackets and thought I had it all figured out and had to make many adjustments and modifications to the brackets to get it together. I have everything revised and the bracket cut and will be doing my second set of brackets this weekend. I really don't think this is something that can be figured out before doing. It is more on the fly engineering until it is done. I do this kind of stuff for a living and this was a real challenge. I have weeks involved in detailed drawings, trail and error and working on patents and such to get these together and they are still evolving. I have some ideas for the front control arms to mount in the factory position but set where mine do at the pivot point to allow a stock bolt replacement instead of welding brackets to the frame as I did.

Definitely like how the rear wheels are centered in the wheel well unlike how they are pushed forward with the btf spacers.

How's driving with 35s? I see you have the v8 and probably 3.73s so it can't be horrible. Id be interested in this kit if I had a v8 so build up and money to regear.... I'm suffering enough with the 4.0, 3.55s, and 33's
 






Here are a few pictures of some of the brackets. These are final run what would be sold if I market these. These are several more brackets but this is what I have now. I though everyone would like a sneak peak. All designed by myself.

4.56's or 4.88's will help alot and your 4.0 wont feel so doggish ;)
 












bravo duner bravo
 






Thanks guys
I am about to wrap everything up to sell.
I need about 10 serious people to get the first order going.

I should be able to get my vendor status here in the next week or two
By then I hope to be up and running.
 






Not sure if I am going to have time to finish getting this stuff into production I have been really busy with work and other stuff lately and had to put this on the back burner.

I may be willing to sell all of the details and CAD and DXF files to someone for $5500 who may want to take it the rest of the way. I have everything deatail in AutoCad for all of the parts and materials. I also have Nested DXF files for the Laser cutout of all of the flat peices. Enough to be able to send them to a vendor to have made.
