Great News!!

Brian contacted me today and let me know that the bar design has been finished and will be going into productions! Here is the email he sent me.

"Here’s where we ended up. We are going to have two kits available, a 2WD & 4WD kit.

Because of the limited suspension travel of the 2WD, a shorter bar can be used without a concern of binding. This allows the front brackets to be mounted on the angled part of the frame (see pic), giving more ground clearance on factory ride height and lowered 2WD trucks. This is the layout we have on serval standard cab 2WD 5.0 race trucks now.

4WD trucks on the other hand will need a longer bar due to the increased travel, which means the front bracket will be mounted on the lower part of the frame (see pic). This layout covers all the 4WD trucks including the Raptor, with lifts up to at least 6” (possibly more).

Both kits will use the same front and rear brackets (shown here), only difference being the bar length and where the front bracket is mounted. (Note: The production front bracket will only have one hole, not two like pictures show.) No welding is required, just drilling a couple of hole for the front brackets. Production parts for both will be available by 5/1/15."

When Brian and I spoke about pricing a long time ago, he told me they would be $475+$46 Shipping. Can't say if the pricing is still the same but that should give you a idea.

I bought some pro comp and not really happy with they way they mount up. The bars are for a superduty but the mounts are for the f-150 since the holes are the same. Never mounted them yet just because they don't look like they will limit the axle movement like these would. Now I'm gonna have to try to sell mine so I can buy these! Can you please ask him if pricing is still the same? Thanks for update

Brian said the price will be around $475-$495 and shipping will depend on location. Final pricing will be in a day or so.

Brian and I have been talking and he told me yesterday that they will start to take orders and shipping on MONDAY 6-8-2015! They also should be posted to his website this weekend.

He is offering 2 kits. One he is listing as a 2WD kit(Part Number LLB-FT02), the other he is listing as a 4WD kit (Part Number LLB-FT03).

The 2WD kit has the front bracket mount on the kick-up part of the frame and uses a shorter bar. The only difference between the 2 kits is the bar length, everything else is the same.

Regular price is $475 + Shipping but he is offering forum members a 5% discount and the price will be $451.25 + Shipping.

The promo code for the discount is "f150stiffy". If you want to order them and they haven't been listed on the site just call him to place your order. Just tell him that I (Wayne) mentioned that forum members were to get a 5% discount.
