ok i not going to mince words...i WILL NOT purchase any thing from r.r.o.. i tryed to buy this kit from them in the past and that just didn't work out
now that that is out of the way...r.r.o. is the only vender that has a rear up front kit that does not have droplinks involved...i am not ready for droplinks quite yet(drive shafts,shocks,money ect.)
i was wondering if someone on this board had the rear upfont kit,and was willing to post pics or e-mail me pics of this setup,aswell as give me some dimentoins and any info .
i have some pics and from what it looks like its just 4 plates and 6 nuts and bolts and relo plates ,pretty e.z. for even me to make.
i run 3 inch spring, spoa ,i am trading for some new hd rear springs,and would like to have the old rear spring rebuilt to use up front.i know that this is not going to be the flex monger that you all own ...but its the line i want to take.
thanks so much in addvance.

Just for future.....don't even worry about Missing links or drop type shackles. They work ok if flex is all you want, but their more of a hassle than their worth.
Cons-----
They tend to open up when climbing up hills
They open and tend to bend the spring back/in easier when trying to climb big rocks or ledges.
Crappy street manners (without panhard bar)
Crappy turning radius (without panhard bar) you will be amazed what another set of bushings per shackle will do.
I have experienced more but I'm tired now (been up since midnight and it is almost 6am!) Dam NAVY. I hope you guy's feel secure while you sleep! lol
LET THE :rainbow: :nuke: :rainbow: :nuke: begin!!!!!!

I made my own brackets, follow that link a few posts up and look at the pics, then get a piece of cardboard and design your own, then the fun starts, get out the torch and start cutting and be prepared for some grinding too!
