    I’ve heard great things about it, which is why I bought it but my only concern now is that I have more travel in the front than the SUA is capable of. At the time of original purchase this was perfect because the front end I had wasn’t that great.

    What front kit are you running? Could always splurge on some 3.0” 4 or 5 tube race series bypasses to help tune the rear ended to handle more.

    XLT I assume. Yeah that’s a heck of a front kit. That said I’ve see. Leaf setups do damn good keeping up with beamed fronts pulling 18” is of travel. I think my truck works pretty good and I push it really hard. Pulling 15” up front and 17” out back with the dmz kit. Right now I’m limited by the front not having bypasses. But if I could get bypasses up front and then switch to some bigger 5tube out back I think it would be a whole new truck.

    Seems to be just the axle he’s selling, but I’ll see how he likes it.

    Watch some videos of guys with the Dirt King SUA on instagram. That and DMZ are the most credible kits with videos of them performing on here and IG.

    Selling my Solo Motorsports +2 kit complete as is with axles and gusseted spindles for $3500 OBO

    Pricing feels fair like buying a kit and getting built axles, a spare axle shaft and gusseted spindles for free...

    Kit Includes :

    • +2 uppers and lowers powder coated silver vein
    • OE lower ball joint adapters powder coated silver vein with 10mm spacer and 10mm longer spindle bolts
    • TC gusseted spindles powder coated silver vein
    • TC +2 axles powder coated silver vein with new cv boots
    • 1 extra +2 spare axle so you can build up a trail spare
    • Crown Performance extended brake lines to run replace everything from the the frame to the caliper ( you will need your own bajo bolts )
    • +2 Tie Rod extensions

    The Bad :

    • Powder coat is a few years old there are some chips in it and some dumbass ...cough...me...cough may have got a bunch of brake clean on the lowers which you can see in the photo
    • The inner bypass tab was cut off to clear my big brake caliper, you could fully remove it and grind it smooth or add it back on easily if you are going to run a bypass. The remaining bypass tab is a perfect place to strap too.
    • One of the brake lines has a cut in the clear cosmetic shielding only, does not affect performance.
    • LCA bushings need to be replaced, just the usual wear and tear cheap and easy to replace.

    What you will need :

    • Standard 8" CO, kit was designed around a King CO.
    • Staps and clevis'
    • LCA bushings
    • Bajo bolts for the calipers

    Here is what the kit looks like installed with OE brakes :

    Progress on the backhalf. Might need to get a new cell but so far it’s going smooth. Expecting just over 30” of travel, probably bump and strap at 28-29
