    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Wow, you're not kidding. Those rollers look sweet and that's a damn good price.

    you mean plus shocks.

    king isnt the only option. alot of money on shocks for the name in my opinion. only reason ive ran kings on both my truck is i got smoking deals on new ones. anyone looking for a budget shock go with foa and open them up and clean them out before putting them on your truck.

    wow really? ha ha...read post #61...we clearly say what the kit cost is $2250.00, not $2500.00, just making that clear, now if someone wants to pay and extra $250.00 we will gladly take it...ha ha....i appreciate all the Engage talk but this thread is for Fabrication Help and Assistance, lets keep it to that....what do you all say?

    here is a great free trial by Turbo cad

    http://www.turbocad.com/TurboCAD/FreeTrials/tabid/85/Default.aspx

    to learn their programs for the beginer and the trick is to convert the finished file to a dxf. format and then any CNC Plazma Cutter can make the parts for you, a great company to get parts cut thru is

    hope this helps out!

    heck yes. and to everyone trying to learn solidworks / autocad. remember that you can download both programs online and they have 30 day free trials. i used the free trials before i bought both programs. was nice to get to tinker with the program before they rape you up the ass on purchasing it.

    true they have good ratings, but with all the guys all over dr and RDC why would you buy a kit like that when you can have one entire custom one fabbed up for you way cheaper if you cant do it yourself.

    Whoa whoa. If you have bumpsteer and alignment issues then you were the one stupid enough to pay for it. However, I know many garage dangers that have amazing kits and cost half of what chaos or hamburg does. And don't get me wrong I ran chaos on my last yota but bang for buck wasn't there. If you don't agree that is ok as this is only my opinion. But ill be building all my shit on my own as I can do it way cheaper than those company's are selling for.

    i dont see it as a "i can fab better than (company)", it is a legitimate point that there are many great fabbers all around on the net that can offer you something way cheaper.... seeing how this is a FABRICATION THREAD and not a BUY YOUR SHIT PRE-MADE FROM SOMEONE ELSE THREAD. so take that as you will, but isnt the point of talking about fabrication, is so that you can do it yourself.

    their are GREAT home fabricators, i think what "CR250" means (and i thought also) was that this thread was going to be about helping everyone that wants to learn or better their fabrication skills was going to be about. Yes their are Better Fabricators working out of their homes then Us EngageOffRoad, and other known companies out their ( i wont mention names as its not my place to) thats not what this thread was originally started for, its for advice....not so someone can say how much better they are than someone else, i doubt anyone on this thread believes that the only good fabricators work for Fabrication Shops, their are less expensive ways to achive everyones fabrications goals if you are capable, and i think that is what this Thread was started for, so people could talk about proper ways of doing Fabrication and learning from others mistakes, these are my 2 cents on this, no disrespect to anyone on their skills, or their comments.....EngageOffRoad....909-238-6788

    ^Exactly. What I am saying is there is no reason to bash ANY company in this thread. That has nothing to do with the topic and provides no help to ANYONE trying to fabricate ANYTHING. Instead of saying "thats too expensive or I know people cheaper" why dont you provide that info then?

    Edit: By the way I think the first few pages were awesome and exactly what this thread should be. Questions, answers, and links. No bashing
