    ...too much shit to list.
    Why the hell would you aim for factory ball joint position and 3.5" wider? If you did that, your bump steer would be retarded.
    How much cv plunge did you measure?
    Camber/caster/toe readings at bump, ride height and droop?
    Please explain how you have a 14" coilover with stock coil buckets and no engine cage.
    Still using shocks as bump stops?
    Please show us with your funny tape measure how you're getting "approximately 13" travel" with the sway bar connected.
    Also curious how you got 13 inches of travel without cutting the inner cv boot lip off.

    The reason people pay "way too much" for a kit with a name on it is because people value their vehicles and their safety and don't want sketchbag shock tabs snapping off in the middle of the desert. Those companies have put oodles of money into r and d and testing and have experienced fab guys and the money to stand behind their product, none of which you have at this time. I think you have successfully conducted your market research and at this time can conclude that there is zero percent interest in your bolt on lt kit. Please build a full "nice" working set, and take a ton of good video of you beating the kit to death then we will talk.


    Edit: also, you must not be a marketing major, but pitiful fab does not instill confidence with the consumer, so if the name is for your love of Pitts why not just Pitt Bull fab?

    that's what I was going off of...

    how are you running a 14" coilover in the normal shock tower?

    is a 14" coilover not a new shock?

    you said no new expensive axles either... "as stated earlier"? There was no other post besides this one and the OP

    you didn't address the fender flare thing either... they serve a purpose too...

    but we're all douchebags and stupid and suck and stupid and suck and douchebags so i'm outski[SIZE=2]s

    [SIZE=2]awesome way to try and sell things; instead of providing a levelheaded response to legi[SIZE=2]ti[SIZE=2]mate concerns you went full bro[SIZE=2].[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

    Ahh....I see now. Maybe he meant he had 14" spings.

    Oh and the sway bar mount is a nice touch.
