anyone do the upgrade? how did you like it? run into any problems? i see that the picture for the ad for it shows lower arms, skid, and brake lines. the description says all the above mentions AND the rear uppers. theres no picture of the uppers. are they really included? or do i run my short arm for the rear upper?

It has longer rear uppers that also attach to the skid plate. No front uppers, uses a radius arm setup.

when i called and asked about it they said you need to use there adj. uppers from their short arm kit, but i would think your currie arms would work just fine, i let you know when i get mine in a couple of weeks and we'll compare your currie arm and see if it will work.


THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS!!

I had to buy adjustable front uppers because my old fixed ones
would not fit - there is a 45 degree turn from one bracket tothe
other that the non-adjustable could not make.

I needed to make major changes to my exhaust. Move the front pipe
rebend the entire rear - and put in a round can muffler.

I rolled my rear axle about six months after because the long arme was so strong it killed my track bar bracket - I did the entire rear and it solved many problems that were related to the axle tilt.

The belly plate was a not so minor change because you have to cut off the existing arm brackets (torch) and you have to drilland
weld taps to the frame - one inch hole drill. The angle for my t-case and MM lift caused me to toss the agle plate they had and run strait to the belly plate. I had to move the bolts for the
tranny mount and move the suspenstion bracke for the exhaust.

It was all worth it - best mod I made. I needed a few years of
experience to know I could do the mod as well as really evaluate
what I was getting once I got there.

The suspension rides on 35s like stock or better - I was so amazaed with the trail to road ride I tossed my old 33s because
I just did not need them anymore.
