In a market filled with Coilover Conversions, we stuck to the bones of this proven platform. The attention to detail is top notch and shows one can achieve top-tier performance without scavenging a junk yard looking for (and refurbing) steering and axles. Our goal was build a comprehensive system for the customer looking for a reasonable lift height and massive performance improvements on and off-road to compliment the new stance from a bolt-on system. Too many lifts are sold incomplete leaving a customer to search for compatible parts to complete their suspension build; not here… Buy the system, install and enjoy.

This system starts with custom Carli/Deaver Leaf Spring pack for the front andrear. The lighter rate, Full Progressive Leaf Springs lift the front 4.5” and the rear is lifted 2-1/4” by our block eliminating spring pack. This lift and extended travel calls for some geometry changes up-front. The track bar angle is corrected via our Fabricated Track Bar Drop Bracket and a Pitman Arm is provided to ensure the steering (drag link) and suspension (track bar) cycle the same ratio to eliminate bump steer. We then provide a set of Extended Sway Bar End Links to recenter the factory front sway bar in its extended stroke. To this, extended, stainless brake lines were added to firm up braking feel and ensure there was enough line to handle the added down-stroke of the front and rear axles.
