still want lift spacers?

[JoeCool6972]

How about longer control arms or spindles?

absolutely, but then we're talking $2-$3K, plus shocks...but, yes, that is the market i've been targeting more than simple lift stuff. I'm actually going to build an 05 nissan very soon, longtravel front, rear, full cage, etc.

He was a vendor, and is not a vendor any more.

This isn't a Road Bully thread. Keep it on topic, please.

Roger that. I still am anticipating another vendor here fabricating a new design for a highly desired product that seems to have relevant demand. Cheers to Brandon

Dude i say make 10 sets with a max of 2" to keep it safe and the bj's happy.

 

[dmc80]

I say make em. The lack of affordable lift for a 3rd gen is keeping me from getting one. Until 3rd gens are liftable for us cheap ass back yard mechanics, i have to stick with my cheaply lifted 2nd gen.
Thanks

AFAIK the only people that have really been complaining about the delay are people that just registered with the site in Dec/Jan and only have 2-3 posts total on here...and when asked to provide exact details of the transaction and any/all communication to backup theri claims of "fraud", there is none....

So....

IMO the mods here jumped the gun a bit in calling him a thief, without giving the guy an ample opportunity to explain himself. (You know he has a phone #....)

Really glad it wasn't something like he was in the hospital for a month or something...I know my wife just went into the hospital for an unexpected 20 days, and I pretty much went off the radar to friends during that time.

Stuff happens, life happens, and frankly only a few people came forward on here stressing about their transaction, people who never post...and making accusations without backing them up. Now obviously there was a delay, because Ben is addressing that...but I really hate to see the guy's reputation being smeared here as is all-too-common on an internet forum, where you have flamers and trolls to embellish quite a bit, and/or sour previous customers who were just frankly unhappy with their product and like to stoke the fire in any relevant post to keep things going.

Regardless, a four month wait with no contact is ridiculous! :thumbdwn:

Back on topic. After the 2.5" strut spacers I had from Roadbully-Offroad I do not want to go that route. It rode very rough and the upper control arm angle was scary. I want a REAL lift kit. I am willing to pay a little more for quality, and I am a firm believer in the old saying "you get what you pay for." But the problem is no one makes anything but strut spacers as a means of lifting these trucks. And there is only two companies that make those. Roadbully and TRUXXX. I would also like to lift mine more than 3" safely. Not saying you shouldn't make them as an option for those who do want them, but personally I want something else. I am pretty sure there would be a market for a more sophisticated lift kit besides me alone.

I think that these 3rd gens are a hidden gold-mine for aftermarket products. The demand from the "last guy" was crazy. So if you have the ability to produce and stand by your product, i say go for it.

This thread is going to the crappers - stay on focus, the spacers.

Look into a plasma cutter, a welder, a few steel plates and go to town.

hmmm how about some sway bar discos.... that would be sweet too!

This is Brandon's thread. Keep it on topic.

Roadbully let his Vendor privileges expire some time ago and he has not answered any of my PMs attempting to learn what happened with his last transactions. While he may have been ok to deal with initially, something happened which made him very unreliable, and in my opinion untrustworthy.

If you have any questions, please PM me. No more discussion about Roadbully, in this thread, after this post.

Thanks!

AWESOME! THAT'S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! I want a lift like that for my truck. Well, maybe 4-6".

Brandon do you think BTF could do something like that? Mainly drop the rear axle BELOW the frame? I am sure someone here wouldn't mind being a guinea pig for the project, I would, but CA is far away! And if you took that completed project truck to shows, like SEMA as well as truck shows, l am sure it would sell, you and your brother's small business may just go bigtime. You'd be rich!

HEY BRANDON:
So far as the spacers go, I have noticed a difference in the ones RB made and the ones TRUXXX makes. His just kept everything lined up the way it was. Truxxx's design turns the struts around 180 degrees. They say it makes them work better. Also the Truxxx spacers have a slight angle to them, where as RB's were flat across. Maybe there design would be something to get ideas from for the BTF spacers. Not saying do an exact copy, as I am sure they have a copyright, but do something similar...

There is a topic in the 06-up section about their product, maybe talk to the ones who have used them and get ideas? See how the install went, how they ride, if they are still happy, etc.

Well, what do you mean exactly? As there are only two companies that make these (soon to be three), in the discussion of spacers we may have to use his company name, unfortunately...

And speaking of which, try not to copy his design to a T either. He may copyright his design after all this went down here and try to sue BTF for copyright infringement.

there spun 180 degrees in the rear so that the strut mounting bolts don't interfere with the newer ones. because they are 1.25 and the needed spacing to have them inline is 1.5 inches. that is why Roadbully made his 1.5 for the smallest and that is why truxxx made thiers at 1.25 and rotating it 180 degrees.

Do you kinda understand that?

 

[DietRockstar]

Well I would definitely buy some 1.5" rear spacers from you and drive up to RC from orange county to get them even

 

[Kovalchuk]

The market for affordable and easy to install spacers is your best bet... GO FOR IT! Anything around 150$ and they will sell like crazy!

These $2-5k kits people are posting are unreasonable and would tap into such a tiny market.
