Picked this up this past summer and ended up going with a different kit.
This one includes beefed up control arms with ball joints, extended tie-rod sleeves, coil springs, and the rear flip kit.
What you see below is what I have.
Honestly, I paid $1000 plus shipping so that is what I am looking to get. This kit is HEAVY and is high quality. Just needs paint, and I would do the bushings while the arms are off.
extended sleeves
The springs are 2.5" v6 springs, but dont forget these numbers are for non-long travel lifts, so the lift amount may be lower because of the additional load it would see because of the 3" of additional outward stance.
Well that is exactly what I thought too. Then asking a few of the long travel experts on dezert dimes, they said that is just how they made the aim kits. I know I had my own concerns, asked the exact same question, and found the answer. Just passing the knowledge on.
Talked with my neighbor about using his shipping account since I know that this is so heavy and would cost a good chunk of change. He said I could use it to get the discount.
That being said, I am willing to do $1000 shipped. Not willing to split anything up.
Well I didn't have a chance to paint the kit. Getting ready to move and would really not want to move this too. $750 plus shipping. I will not go any lower than this and don't ask for $750 shipped unless you plan on meeting up with me near Cleveland, OH. Text me if you are serious at 440-242-5255
Im curious how the upper arm are supposed to mount with no cross shaft?? Or am i missing something? The uppers seem like they would fit a stock 4wd frame but you cant use coil springs on the 4wd frame, coilovers yes.
The stock shaft will have to be used or buy a new shaft to install. And these are for a 2wd, but both control arms are longer to give the extra travel and offset. It uses the stock coil, sway bar, and shock locations.
I have the lower arms for this same kit for sale if anyone is interested let me know and I will post photos, shipping will $50.00-up depending on zip code, upper arms can purchased from Aim.
I want to get rid of them so i am willing to sell cheap!
