Rex, the builders kit uses Clayton springs and RC radius arms and crossmember. We can do Clayton and other radius arms and hardware but the cost will go up accordingly.

Hillbilly, we dont have a bolt-on kit for the 2wd trucks but you can use the Sky weld-on kit.
Will you guys ever be making a 2wd first gen kit in the future

I have noticed there are some differences in the lift the ord kit for the 1st gen actually provides. some places it says 3'' some says 5''? I have already ordered the kit and I am very excited you guys are making them again. im just trying to figure out what springs im going to order.

I have a 91 s10 2door blazer 4x4. I am using an xj hp dana 30 and want to go soa. I don't really want to run a body lift if I don't have to. I want to run 33-35s (probably 33s its a dd)

for the rear, when doing a spring over on a 1st gen s10 blazer you should see roughly 5'' of lift, with a generous rake of 1-2'' which = 6-7''. there is always a lift shackle for the rear that will net 1.5-2'' of lift if needed.

So now to the questions what 73-87 chevy springs are needed to level everything out?

by my math, if the brackets net you a 5'' lift I should be able to get a set of 2'' chevy lift springs and that should be level or atleast close to the rear lift. does this sound right?

thanks for the info rabbit. wont the stock waggy springs move the axle 2'' forward? how do those springs measure up to a stock set of 73-87 chevy springs. I want to go soa and I want to run 33s. will the waggy springs fit in the wheel well or will it move it to far forward that will require trimming the bumper when flexed? sorry for all the questions

You'd want factory height leaf springs. I'm using the ord kit and I'm using 5.5" BDS leafs and I'm on 39.5s with room around them, 2-3" between rear tires and edges of fenders on the rear bumper. I'm 5'1" and the top of my hood hits me right at the top of my head, if you go soa, if you stay sua, take rabbits advice, for reference to a rig, check out resetpunks build thread. He was sua on 33s and it looked good

Ok so I looked at resetpunks truck and it looks awesome. He went soa with 44044s and ran 33s. I am going to step up to 35s now a buddy gave me a good deal. It looks to me that going soa with 44044s might clear 35s. If not I can throw a 2 in body lift for some clearance. On project blackouts build he had a 3 in body lift with sua 44044s and had 35s so comparing the two builds I think the 44044s are going to give me what in need. Does thta sound right?

soon as i put the 2 in lift block in the back and make it even, clearing 35s shouldnt be to hard except maybe with sways unhooked and full flex i think youll get some rub. I wanna find some 35s and test fit them see how they clear

Wow look at that, I am gone for a little bit and Joey is busting out some awesome news!

That is great to hear Joey. Sky does some awesome work, I don't remember if the full size kit offered had the option for coils. When I eventually do the swap on my 01 tahoe, I would rather give you my money than piece one together somewhere else!

First batches from Sky are nearly complete. Sky wanted to get a few frames to test fit the kits which slowed things down a little. Once the ball starts rolling there then lead times should be less than a week just like everything else they manufacture.

I appreciate the kind words. We are working very hard for you guys!

ORD kits are finally shipping this week! It took Sky longer than they thought to get things going but it looks like they have it all handled now. I apologize for anyone who has had to wait longer than expected. We are now taking orders for ZR2 kits as well.

Lead times will continue to get shorter. Our goal is for orders to ship within 1-2 business days. As of right now, t-case crossmembers will ship within a week.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

The Cipher seats are great. We are stocking them in CA and at our shop in TX. We also have a sweet display I built. We have already had them in daily drivers, crawlers and race trucks. The quality is top notch and they are very comfy. I just installed a set of the reclinging seats in my Samurai and I love them.
