I don't know if this one was on there or not but check it out, the guy used 1/4 of another chevy frame and used it as a sub-frame!! check out those T-bar drops!!! HAhaha sweeeet
you'd think with all that "fine" fab work he'd weld some coil buckets on that bish!! obviously only wanted to keep it stock with that frame and all right?

I have access to CNC machines that my buddys dad owns at his machine shop in Gardner MA, I used to work there... Also have access to a welder and torches, I talked to Rough country and asked if I could buy just the knuckles, They said no they can't separate kits.. So I said I'm buying my friends kit and he broke a knuckle and bent the other one in an accident . Then they said I could buy the knuckles for $129 a piece Haha... So $258 Plus the $ for the stock, and Misc parts (stabalizer links, nuts bolts washers), time to build and install... Might as well just spend the $1,000.00 and get a warranty with it I guess
If I can drop the diff 1-2" and get 1-1 1/2" higher in the front I'll be happy... just don't know how the ball joints'll do

I seriously might go for it in the Summer when more work comes in and it's warmer, but for now I'll just try to tackle the CV angles... Oh and we don't really have 4WD shops around here that I know of 
... That would be sick though If I could fab one up!! I just wouldn't wanna risk hurtin my daughter or myself or some innocent driver or bystander with a home made lift that failed and sent my truck rougue... at least if I purchased one that failed it'd be on someone elses hands ya know?

I have cranked up factory keys, I havent had any trouble with them.
torsion bars cranked, about 2 inches of lift, hI have been running it for about 4 years mostly on the road and mud pits only problem i have it a little stiff ride but noting to complain about. running 35'' tires and it still has power and stability. ill post a pic in about an hour or so.

Yeah, How'd Faber get those angles? Both My2003fx4 and Faber sit a little higher than mine... My torsion bars must be tired of Rippin wheelies Hahaha jk
AZ I'll check Terrors thread out... That one never caught my eye for some strange reason!
