It looks like a "K-link" system. I don't remember the company's name, but they were marketing a bolt on system for Jeeps and others that looks just like that.

cm "or it's custom" k

yep, FULL TRACTION SUSP. It's a branch of Calmini. Actually both share the same facilities on Bakersfield.

looks like allot of crap to bend. For the price, why not go high steer and have the correct angles?

wouldn't the leverage make it alot harder for the steering box box to turn? And make the wheel turn too much?....Unless it comes with a shorter piman arm.

I've currently got my wheel base at 89"s on my 79 CJ5. but want 105"s which means my rear needs to go back an additional 16"s along w/the 4.5"s that its already got from the offset center pins. I plan on stretching the frame in the rear and relocating the foward spring mounts accordingly. Am I nutz for stretching the frame this far? front is foward about 1-1.5"s and can't move it foward any more in its current state. seems like it'd be an awesome new place to strap a cooler!! :smokin:
thanks

How about:

"This vehicle was used for show purposes for my business, so it has never been off road."

or:

"...the gauges are all installed but need to be hooked up."

Sounds like some pretty half-assed sh!t to me... Still, it's probably worth ten grand though. Put some real tires on it, a real axle up front and a full cage and go scratch up that pretty paint...

I still don't understand why they list this for all Jeeps, it won't work on anything with a front track bar.
