    I am curious too. The remote reservoir is a must because the weight, shock angle, and small shock body will cause the oil to over heat without the extra capacity.

    Brittney and Ian helped me rebuild my lower mounts way before MC and even JDFab came out with theirs.

    I had a conversation with bigmike via PM detailing the failures and weaknesses of the lower mounts, and what my opinions are that can help tidy up everything down there. Pictures were sent too.. Not too long later, MC comes out with that particular kit lmao

    People love to take ideas and claim them as their own... they were first! I learned long ago, don't share the idea unless you are comfortable with unoriginal folks taking credit and profiting. Of course, some folks can look at the idea, run with it, and take it up another level.

    I ordered Aug 12 and found out today I'm second in line and that my kit "is expected to arrive in stock next week." I'm excited but not getting my hopes up because I've received similar emails. I ordered this because the lead time on the website showed 10-12 weeks and I have a Mojave Road trip planned leaving in just over a week. Oh well

    If yours arrived today then their lead time would drop from 6 to 9 months down to 5 months. That would be a big improvement.

    When I was waiting and asked what my position in line was, I was told that they couldn't estimate my position because they were doing production in batches. But the endless "next week" emails really got to me and after 6 months when they said I could cancel my order I had to take a few deep breaths. For some reason that offer to cancel my order after 6 months really got to me.

    Hmmmm sounds like they really only want the customers that will put up with their BS lies and what not and continually promote them even if their business model and ethics aren't the best.

    This has already been covered, but I'm 1st Gen. There is no kit for me to order.

    They're trying to discredit you because you haven't ordered. It's kinda like you're not allowed to speak on it unless.......(fill in the blank) kind of thing.

    Like I said. It had already been covered.

    And if there was any curiosity, all one would have to do is look here.

    in the comments, he did mention going to a ford 9" in the summer to match the width in the rear.

    also, whats yalls opinion on the 3 link setup that he explains on the white board. never heard that putting the upper to the top of the diff was bad.

    His explanation of his upper link shouldn't be triangulated that much is something I've never heard before or anyone ever mentioned. Most just go from frame to top of diff/center axle on the rear and I've never heard of any complaints from doing that. :notsure:
