I wish. We were looking at other products to develope and this came up as well as making spacers for 2wd's. (lots of desert trucks around here plus people who just want a taller truck).

We will have to take a good hard look at the costs Vs. benefits of developing it. Those prices are pretty good but the cross members look like they could be stronger. Can we make 'em stronger? Sure. Can we do it within a price the market will bear? Not sure yet. I'm thinking also of bundling it with a skid plate to go between the front and rear crossmember. Nothing has been done on this yet though but don't worry, I'll be letting all know when something comes up.

Good to hear.

I hate to say this, because I love to talk shop, but I really should keep these ideas to myself or we risk a larger operation swooping in and making things, well, quite a bit more difficult for a small time (for now) operation like ours.

I do appreciate the help Steve. It definitely got the gears turning upstairs.

Frank.

Got mine yesterday. They are very nice looking. Nice precision milling, etc. Now I need some nice weather to get them on. 78 yesterday, maybe 50 today...

Went to put them on at the weekend Frank, but the bolts in my balljoints were fused to the housing, and i couldnt get them out so i have bought new ones which i recieved today. Will try to get them in tonight!
Surely other people have installed them already?
