He is going to have issues is all I'm going to say. He probably is going to need a special drive shaft to hook up the front. The tires are way to small for that much lift. His axles are a joke. If I was looking at that kind of lift a dana 44 wouldn't hold up. I doubt it would make a decebt rock rig looking at the links. I would have fabbed up a longer arm setup and made them a little flatter and either made a better radius design or 3 link. But they do have a term for "cool trucks" like that on pirate they call them mall crawlers.

The rear springs have such a severe arch to them that they're useless for anything other than locating the axle. There has to be zero articulation and the ride must beat anyone inside to death.

Your results may vary. Talk to your mechanic before using this product. As with all home made lifts, some risks apply. Seek mechanical attention if shakey or wobbley conditions persist. This could be an indication of impending catstophic failure.
I think that "erection" has lasted for more than 4 hours!

What!

Add one more to the list. I can't tell for sure from the pictures but if the axel ends on the front axel weren't cut and rewelded at the right angle when the front axel was rotated, the pivot angle on the front wheels would be way off and make it virtually unsteerable. No way would I ever want to be anywhere near that thing.

Is that plain copper tubing for the front brake line?!?!?! Natural selection is sure to take care of this mess...
