They were not interested. You basically have to build a drag link yourself (from a company but need to bend to suit your needs) but all other components are readily available.

I would keep all my reciepts for the skyjacker springs. I had a set, my shop went out of business and I couldn't provide a reciept that met their warranty requirements. My springs failed in about three years. from a lift spring to a frown.

getting ready to do this conversion on my jeep... well, dodge, cummins, thing... that's what it is... i'll fill out my sig line later, but the parts links you posted aren't valid anymore... i'm seeing where partsmike has a dana 60 flat steering arm... but not exactly sure if that's the right one or not... and i want to get it reamed for the 1 ton TRE's any chance you would check and see if the parts you got are still the one's available??? thanks...

hey... the rest of the thing has been an adventure building... this should be too... it's a 77 jeep cherokee (full size) on a heavily modified 92 dodge frame with the 92's diesel engine, an NV4500, a dana 70HD rear axle, and a whole host of other mods from random vehicles... i've only got about 1.5" of lift on the front, so it'll be tight... but i think it can be done... i'll post pics here after i do it...

What TRE's are you using? I didn't have to modify the arm at all.

EDIT: I didn't modify it because parstmike did it for me. It is cheaper to have them do it than buying a reamer.

I was concerned with having it done by them after see how deep the TRE set in the pictures of your arm from them so I figured I will purchase the tooling and do it myself can never have enough of the correct tools when you do all your own repairs .

I think those are pics of the first arm they sent me, was reamed for the wrong tre. They sent the proper one after that.
