Anyone seen this kit in action? Looks great, did a search but no information found.

black diamond is back and shipping those under woods ready. their website still is just a blank page, but you can order the kit. good luck though, i haven't actually seen one in awhile, but they do work pretty well. for the money i would look into a well set up soa. that warn kits tempting though.

I looked into this a while back. Not worth the dough at all. You could fab up a better setup for less money in my opinion. And another thing, you better have the drivetrain setupo you wanna keep before you install it, cause itll be a PITA to swap axles, etc once the it is in. I have seen it on the con last year, very nice, works well, but no better than a lot of setups that are MUCH cheaper :)

Two guys I wheel with have them. They work extremely well. However, as was previously stated you better have everything figured out first. They have theirs set up with 9" in the back and d30 up front. Both want to upgrade up front, but are hesitant because of the work.

Also, all told they have toasted 5 shocks with bent shafts. I don't think that's very good quality. 5 out of 8 shocks with wheeling hard when this kit is built for off-road, I question that. Stick with SOA if you want to wheel the sh@t out of it.

Also have seen the skid plate bust out where the LCA mounts in the front. It mounts with bushings on a threaded rod instead of rod ends or bolts.

I totally agree. I think the kit was cool when it came out but is now obsolete as wheeling hardcore is so common. Other people can build a serious set up for less nowadays.
