i understand being able to prove himself on here to sell this stuff, but if this is legit, then we are bashing & denying someone that is actually doing something for these vehicles, which sucks.
I'll agree with Curtis, its a shame he might not sell much of these kits cause they are on the large size. If he did half the lift for a smaller price, could be interesting. But we shouldnt be bashing and then turn around complaining no one makes things for our vehicles.
Hope he isnt a fake and sticks around and proves himself!

I too am skeptical, but I think it'd be better at least to humor him for a day or two, rather than calling "fake" in the first 43 minutes, and then have everyone jump on that bandwagon. "Too expensive" and "dumb idea" are just opinions, and all the negative posts just kept pushing it to the top...so I don't really understand how the naysayers see that as productive if they think it's a worthless post? I'd be curious to see pics.

It was just a "i sell 10inch lift kits for $1900"
Had he put a picture, website, specs, etc. would have been different.
Doesn't seem to be like it will be mass produced. Built-to order. I was thinking of fabbing a set of drop brackets and coilovers, but whats the point if 5.29 gears are $800 just for the front(and yes thats recent, I emailed the guy a couple months ago).

It just funny to see how this little post sparked so many comments! I got a 78 ford bronco for 450$ sold the engine trans, and transfer case for 250, not i have a dana 44 and for (" rear for 200$ which i'm still currently in the works of slapping under my raider. and its alot of work and fancy welding, so i cant imagine how an aftermarket 10" kit would be on these little guys, you'd have to run spacers and 14.50" tires just to keep from tipping over.

I probably be interested in a 1"-3" set up just so you do not have to crank the trosion bars. Anything beyond that solid axle is the way to go if you want something to perform.

Aren't IFS drop kits for posers with H2s who never wheel? No, they're also for people who want to run bigger engines in IFS trucks. Sometimes the diff needs to be lowered a couple of inches to clear the V8 oil pan. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

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. Cameron, did you ever speak with him? I'm wondering if English isn't his first language (based on the grammer). If so, then perhaps we owe him an apology but he hasn't tried to contact the admins to confirm his identity. When you bought your monty from him, did he mention anything to you about this extreme lift he says he now has available? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

While I'm all for giving the guy a hard time for not posting proof, a ban was probably a little harsh and uncalled for. After all its not like he was seeking immediate payment to a paypal adress or something. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

he's temporarily banned until he contacts the admin and confirms he's for real. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Seriously? That is a little harsh isn't it? Why not give him some constructive criticism instead of bashing the hell out of the guy. Explain to him why an 8-10" lift is crazy and tell him what would really be wanted from the community. Give em time to post his pictures... Just sayin. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
