Full Traction coilover conversion

Anyone interested of purchasing the kit? I need at least another buyer to save 10%. The front end kit is $2995 regular price. But then you still need to buy the coilover though and that's $1500 a pair for the front. No discount on the coilover. The whole kit is $5500 minus the $300 discount.

Thanks,
Bennie C.

I might be interested. The complete kit on their site is listed for $5000?? What if I just wanted the front end kit, no coilovers?

I was able to talk to one of the guys from full-traction at the 4wheelparts trucks fest in ontario about a month or so ago.

I don't know what lift height you are looking at, but from what the website said of how a complete system can be sold with Kings, he said they don't automatically come with them...that kind of through me off and then he said that the 4" kit will not fit 35's.

I personally do not know how it wouldn't, while I have seen other 4" kits with front leafs that do fit 35's (I know there would possibly be some trimming needed), because I would think that the front coil would be one of the best parts because then you wouldn't have to worry about the tires scrubbing the leafs like on all other kits.

Although he seemed very nice and knowledgeable he tried to talk me out of buying the kits they offer and to head to their shop to discuss a custom setup specifically for the X cuz he made it seem that the kits online wouldn't just bolt up.

Well he talked me out of it all right...I'm just gonna save up and get some newer 05+ dana 60 truck axles with the factory coilover setups and work up with that.

Thanks for the info. I called a month or so ago, also. The guy I spoke to said the price included shocks?? Who knows.. I have found the coilovers online for $1000 a set. Thats why I just want the front brackets and such. I'm also wanting to do something different in the rear, so don't need that stuff either. I have heard, and seen nothing but good things about the kit. I was looking at the skyjacker Zlink but heard it was junk. I'm wanting the 8" kit, and already have a new set of 38" M/T MTZ. I have a 4" Skyjacker softride kit now with 35/13.50/20 Mickey Thompson Atz. I have never rubbed, even at full lock.
