Re: Another Dropmember version???? :)
The fab work and R&D is awesome but will the price of these complete kits be out-of-reach? It looks like there's more than just a cylinder bolt on kit.

Re: Another Dropmember version???? :)
Nate,

Just wondering if this is going to be an option? Or is it not possible?

Re: Another Dropmember version???? :)
Was just wondering if this setup was still going to be produced?

Would love to put this in my next build as I don't want to bag my truck.

We didn't finish in time.... We might end up painting the blazer now so we didn't want to slam it back together to make the show. It is almost there...

Re: Another Dropmember version???? :)
Any news on this version? Really thinking of going this route instead of airbags. Thanks!

Re: Another Dropmember version???? :)
We have been working hard on a performance based front and rear system that uses coil-overs.

We have two systems that will be available soon (just a little more testing to do and will be production ready).

One has a 6" ride height: measured from the bottom of the flat section of frame rail under the cab of the truck to the ground. The matching rear for this kit will include a "short notch" that will require raising the bed-floor approx. 4".

The other has a higher ride height, and is less invasive. It uses our stage 2 rear notch out back. No cutting of the bed-floor on this version.

As mentioned, this kit is all business.

Nate

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

I'm still keeping my eyes on this.
