Well... a 10 inch lift.... is going to be made to run 38-42ish tires, so....... you're not going to run that tire size on monteros with a stock motor(Bog.. Slow), and if you have a modified or swapped motor, you're not going to run that on stock suspension(Snap.. Break)so... No need really to lift the IFS THAT much. If you're going with that big of a lift, you plan on running MUCH larger tires, and would not need your IFS anyway. It'd be eaiser to cut it all off, and install an axle that will handle #1 a motor capable of turning 40's, and #2 axles capable of withstanding said motor, and tires.

OP..... To be a little bit more constructive......

I would suggest.........

#1 a 4-5 inch IFS Drop kit.. So people could run 35s, 36's, 37's.... which the IFS WILL handle, and gears ARE made for.
#2 an IFS to spring perch adapter kit to put Leaf springs, and a dana 44 / ford 9 inch solid axle in.
#3 an IFS to Coil Bucket / control arm setup to put a Dana 44 / ford 9 inch in.
#4 all the misc. stuff to hook it up... Steering arms, shock mounts.. etc.

It's great that someone is taking the initiative to produce a lift, but it is unfortunate that you did not ask us what we wanted/needed in the first place, and then the costs are running that high. Most of us here are serious cheapos.

I'm seriously looking forward to seeing the pictures!!!!

I'm interested in seeing pictures of this, and i'm not trying to bash but that is more lift and money than it's worth considering I run 35x13.5's with 2" of lift, no sway bars and no rubbing even fully turned at full flex. If i needed 8-10" of lift i'd probably be running 44's or some monsterious size tire that i would then need bigger axles for anyways.
Now a 8-10" lift for the pickups, sports and Gen 3s would be more reasonable considering they need more lift to fit bigger tires. I really hope you sell some of these kits because i'd like to see some monteros on 40+ size tires but i think they might be tough to move.

I know this guy, I bought my Gen I from him. He seems to be a decent guy, BUT the pink slip I got from him had two different people on it, I still don't have it registered, due to this fact. And when I asked him for help, he said he would help, but never got back. I am trying to deal with this on my own now. I think this gives a little insight to the person he is if he doesn't already stand behind what he sells.

I know a guy with a IFS toyota pickup on 44"s and its actually quite capable off-road, it totally amazed me. Yes it would be better as SAS but for what the truck is, its quite impressive.
