Anyone running the RockKrawler Coilover Kit?
Just wondering. When I plan on doing my upgrades, this may be an option, but havent seen a lot of them in action.
Thanks

A few guys I run run the RK kit and have never bent an arm made out of their solid stock. I run the 5.5 Mid Arm on mine with bilstein 5150s and it rides & flexs great! Plus with RK's high clearance arms, it's dang near impossible to hit an arm anyways. I plan on going with their coilovers someday, but other mods are/were on the list first!

So my solid 1 5/8" RK HD Tie Rod would bent before a tie rod made of 1 5/8" DOM? I think not. Weight for weight I'll buy DOM being superior but that is a function of a larger OD. And DOM is superior to cheaper non Drawn-Over-Mandrel seemed tubing. Of course you could always take a step above DOM (which is not "magic" steel) and spend the big bucks on truly seemless tubing.

ah nice, i look forward to seeing how you do
i hear you on the axle comment!!!! i cant wheel much if any right now. 5.5 comp and 39x14.50-17" pitbull maddogs will be pushing my D30 and D44 with 5.13 gears to the limits. i need axles. next deployment ill be going with D60s and an atlas. though not sure which one just yet. thats just 3 months away though. if i can get an extension till begining of the year ill see if i have enough for the hemi.
just a few more days and ill be driving my RK JK around. ill let you all know how it work out. planning a long cross country trip and will update it as we drive. also will do some flexing to show how it works out

At least they make it worthwhile for us to go these days....here in Canada it is 7 months of tax free pay PLUS our extra "danger" pay....hence the major build I will be doing..
