    He said mine is going to be the 2nd gen 4x4 prototype. I'm so excited to be blazing new trails with him.

    Huh this thread took a much different turn than I had thought.

    ....yeeeaaah that "LT" kit designed by fourth graders and welded by third graders might have something to do with your camber. Cutting sections and slapping steel tubing in place isn't exactly how you go about it but hey, I guess you have more travel now right?:p

    The worst part about all of this is he's obliviously very proud of his work. Why else would he post build pics of it? And to post them on a dedicated LT site like DR ......... Someone has been leading this kid down the wrong path

    dont waste a minute of your life explaining anything to that kid. It's not a kit, it did not "gain" 14 inches of travel HAHAHAHAHA. He refuses to listen to seasoned veterans, or anyone for that matter, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

    If you have about 15 minutes of time, some spare parts and a welder, you can make your own kit :cool:

    This has to be a joke, he's leading everybody on to believe he's serious and of course people are getting all butt hurt over it... I'd have to admit, that's funny shit.

    After reading through that, I still think this is a cobb job but power to him. I don't think he'll ever get the camber issue worked out because I'm pretty sure it's stemming from the home made kit but other than that it seems to be working.

    To get neutral camber, the OP needs to run stiffer springs (or a longer spring with fewer turns) and raise the static ride height.

    The welds look sketchy as hell. But hey, it's better than the other 5-lugger:
