    Are these the links that are MADE by dirt design as a one off and different than the normal kit ones? Didn’t you try to sell these in the past and get called out for not being forthcoming with information

    Build your own extension - pro eagle might not even be enough. My lca’s don’t like getting jacked, really depends on the angle they are at at ride height. Plus you have to get shocks out and rotate tires occasionally which takes way less time the more corners you can lift. But yeah, wood and bottle jacks or a crane all serve their purpose lol

    Chassis stands and screw jacks eventually would be nice. 6 ton jack stands don’t support the frame without a bunch of 2x10’s under them. Gets lame when working on leafs or whatever in the rear and keeping you safe.

    I carry a HF floor jack (with pro eagle plate), and a pro eagle extension with my truck now because of that reason haha!

    We’re you able to buy the plate and extension separate or you got it used somewhere? I’ll have to look into that!

    Ended up calling dirt king today to check the status on my kit. Been almost 7 weeks since I ordered and it was supposed to be a 4 week lead time. They said the shipping label was created today so hopefully it shows up Monday since I'm only an hour away from them... Planning on starting the install Wednesday

    Was the shipping free? One hour away I would've picked it up in a blink.

    Any interest in 10' sticks on 3.5"x2.5" .188 wall rectangle tubing? Sized to replace last 2' of a first gen frame, figure it would be prime for someone doing a backlhalf

    FYI if anyone is interested I am selling my full three piece front, mid & t-case aluminum skids, powder coated satin black. $1500 new looking to get $1000. They are in great shape just one scratch on the front skid pictured. Hate to have to sell them but the front and mid are not compatible with a new front kit I am getting from JD Fab.

    The t-case skid requires a simple tab to be welded or bolted to your frame to support the back of the skid.
