    meh. its ok. I hated the first part, putting deavers on....factory replacement...real hard. and a 9in? not really necessary unless hes gonna beat the snot out of it. The H&M kit up front is top notch, Ive talked to the designers of it and they did a ton of design and testing on it, but I didnt see Ian put any straps or bumpstops...

    I wish I had those upper control arms on mine. use the heims (I would have used johnny joints b/c theyre rebuildable and greasable, heims are sealed), and the alignment will always be in check unless you bent the frame.

    The costs were minimal
    when he got the add ons for "free"
    since they donated um for "free" advertising?

    The idea is to make it a raptor. So that is why the 9in they couldn't get the gears or locker in less

    what did it have before? the 9.75? that would have been plenty. but he did say he had a plan for more power....... and personally i would have put a locker up front.

    From what I saw it had an 8.8 in it. Which if built up a little it would have been plenty strong. I know of 6 second race cars with 8.8s, just sayin. Woulda saved a few grand, then SUPERCHARGE that B**** lol

    yeah, I'm wondering what they are going to do to make up for the difference in HP, especially with a junkyard motor. A 6.2 raptor has what, 430 horses?
