    You should easily be able to find a local to build one in a few days. My turn around time is usually two day, but I'm not local to you

    Didn't want to start a thread for simple question so I'll throw it there. What's the deal with horizontal ball-joints? Seems like the only kits using them are the "race kits." My first intuition is that they trade horizontal knuckle motion for vertical? If so just how much turning radius are you sacrificing? Thanks guys!

    They are double shear which equals more strength and you can bump off the upper

    Yes
    Yup, you got it right you gain travel but the drive thru at Taco Bell becomes tricky...just make sure you have 35's so you can just hop the curbs without clipping a rim

    To all you wonderful gentlemen, I have a question. I looked at the FSM and it said the horn wire is the green and red at the top of the pic. Is there a ground too? Didn't see one in the FSM. Wiring up some horn buttons to my Momo wheel and am not sure. Truck also doesn't have horns at the moment, they're getting put on after this stuff is wired up.

    A uniball is a type of ball joint.
