Appreciate all the details: *F150, Bronco, 80-91 and 2wd Trucks will require additional holes drilled and may need a 1/4″ shim at the frame rail for the track bar bracket. * Minor trimming to the engine crossmember might be required for track bar clearance (1/6″ - 1/4″) * Ships in raw steel * Drive shaft modifications might be needed * Your wheel bolt pattern will now be 8×170 with a 17″ wheel minimum

I’m sorry brother but I gotta be honest I know I’m going to sound like the biggest hater, I do enjoy watch some of your videos. $1000+ dollars for this kit not including the axle itself and other miscellaneous items. You can buy a complete 3 link kit from various manufacturers, and shave the D60 you already have. You’ll end up with a better setup, and more flex/travel for less in the end. You could probably even truss the axle and still end up better off. I’m more from the off-road scene and relying on grade 8 bolts for all these moving parts is a bit sketchy. Pavement princess it should be fine, personally I wouldn’t trust just bolting those brackets in, adding more failure points IMO. I won’t take anything away from the fact that you’re working at what you love to do and fabricated for OBS. Just might want to give it some time and testing before releasing a product that hasn’t put itself through the paces. Or make sure it’s known that you won’t be held responsible for any damages/injuries/etc. CYA pretty much is what I’m saying.
@blowingdiesel2 жыл бұрын
Hey man thanks for watching we really appreciate it and also thanks for your feedback. Now the kit is actually really reasonably priced, in this market it’s actually the best priced kit. I’m not sure what your used to playing with but in the OBS 05+ swap world your not getting anything for under $1000 your lucky if you get the axle for under $1000. I also spent months, almost a year designing and testing the kit on multiple trucks before I actually released it to the public. Also this kit isn’t meant to be the best thing off road it’s just a basic kit for the guys that wanna swap their axles and get something better because in my opinion the 05+ axles are better in every way to anything the OBS trucks came with. Now we do wanna develop something that will be aimed at the off road community. Now grade 8 hardware is more then strong enough for this application and in my opinion a way better option then relaying on unexperienced people trying to weld this kit to a truck, that would just be silly. Anyways like I said we do appreciate you watching the videos and your feedback have a nice day 👍🏼
