absolutely and this really is the biggest reason for me posting this. before, to get this much flex, you would have to get a long arm kit. now, you can get this much flex and a great ride to boot with little more than adjustable control arms and the EVO system installed. heck, if you have an unlimited, you can even keep the factory rear drive shaft and if you have a 6-speed, most likely the front as well. needless to say, if you already have a good short arm kit with adjustable control arms, this route should be a much more appealing option especially when you consider how much something like an RE long arm kit costs and how much more flex you would get over it

their goal from the begining was to offer a high end performance system that could work with any long arm kit. doing it this way was just a crazy test that i decided to help them do just to see how it would work. while they had an idea that the performance you would get with this setup would be good, i don't think anyone realized just how good it would really be. needless to say, i have no doubts that some kind of package will be available in the near future and after talking to david at northridge4x4, i know he's working on putting some kind of package together now.

you're not dreaming and yes, it really is true. that's pretty much what i did however, i should add that you will need a front track bar drop bracket, dropped pitman arm and longer break lines to accomodate your huge flex

I would hope so, you see what kind of response your getting here about the kit. Offering a complete kit is a no brainer!

you will need to get a new rear u-joint style drive shaft (and front if you have an auto) but otherwise, it sure will
