Do you have shock part numbers?
Does the Currie kit use JKS type shock adapters?

When did you finish the front? Curious about the dropped pitman arm.

Yes - the part number is 999028 and with the use front shock adapters, you will use the same shocks front and rear.

A complete kit with Rancho shocks and standard links is 2,364.70. The kit includes:

We ran into some problems putting the front end together (I accidentally broke a banjo bolt and had a hell of a time finding a new one) and finished most everything up on Monday. Yesterday, we went down to Currie Enterprises and they welded on the trackbar relocation brackets. We still need to install the new front sway bar links and rear spring retainers (just got them yesterday) and will try to wrap things up tomorrow.

Regarding the pitman arm, I think it really helps the handling a lot but you really do need to install the track bar relocation bracket in conjuntion to it in order to get both your track bar and drag link parallel to each other again. The good news is that Currie will be selling their bracket by itself and getting it welded on should be cheap and easy to do

David,
Can you give us some specifics as to your lift components and function compared to some of the other kits on the market?
I'm sure your system works great off-road, but the on road performance is my number 1 concern as my vehicle gets driven on-road the majority of the time. I had the nth degree suspension on order, but I obviously am not getting it.
Thank you.

David @ Currie Ent.

Like Eddie mentioned we use Rancho 999028 front and rear for an even 11" wheel travel all around. Please keep in mind that using 999028 up front is an option and requires a small diameter front drive shaft due to factory driveshaft making contact with exhaust system.

Our standard system uses a 999112 up front, which gives you 9.5" of front wheel travel and will work with the factory driveshaft.

As far as the on-road performance of the kit, I can tell you that the vehicle handles great!!!

Keep in mind that no suspension system in the market is going to be great at everything. With that in mind our system was designed with an excellent balance of on and off road performance.

Keep an eye on "wayoflife" upcoming install and review on the system.

Do you have heavy duty spring options for front and backends that carry extra weight? That is, after market bumper and winch on the front and tire carrier on the rear. Is there any chance of getting a full 4 inches anytime?

I saw this big red rig the other day getting on the 91 Freeway. I can't say how it handled, but MAN OH MAN, it looks good!

Eddie, you need to get the Currie rig out for the Anzo Borrego run.
