    I'm going to pull the trigger on the DMZ kit or DK SUA kit. I Talked to Tim a bunch about using existing AG towers and he thinks it'll work since the angle seems ok from the pics I sent him. Someone mentioned they did that here, any feed back? I'm planning on 14" bypass. gonna plate the frame with either kit. any other suggestions?

    Better kit, more firewall clearance even of you don't do the LCA pivot

    How does it have better firewall clearance without the pivot kit?

    Their kit moves the tire forward 7/8 inches forward from stock.

    So with the pivot you would get almost up to 2 inches forward if you maxed out the pivot kit?

    Beautiful drive, though! I drove down to JD Fab a few times from South Lake.

    I can't help you with mountain bike parks, only the uphill suffering variety. ;)
