just make a hardware list of the screws and stuff you need and basically put your own stage 2 kit together , thats how i did mine . Its a hell of alot cheaper . The only thing i didnt get as of yet is the upper link extensions and the bent lower links, but the rest of the stuff made a huge difference so far.

Call CKRC @ 775-786-7733 and ask on the status. They may be able to throw one together for you. My guess is they are just out of the 15mm extentions for the upper links.

X2 on build your own bro. Once you make bent links cut 15 mm extensions from the stock links to add to your uppers. I made 5,10 and 15's out of mine and they work great for cheap.

hey Jake.. i've done your stage 2 mod...i just installed my bent links and aluminum y link in the rear ...i noticed it really exposes the rear driveshaft and pinion yoke...have you experienced any problems with that ??....if i put a longer screw and spacer(i already have the 6mm spacer as per your stage 2 article) at the 3 link to raise the pinion angle more would that weaken anything at that 3 link area?? or will it be ok at where it's at ??...thanks for the help .....and thanks for the fast shipping of my parts....excellent as usual

I put a 5mm spacer and longer button head screw with washer (of course) on my 3 link connector and ran it a li'l bit and noticed with the stock straight links I had awesome pinion angle but when I pushed the whole rig down (compressed) you could hear creaking in the link ball ends, like they were binding. So before I built my custom longer bent links I figured out how long they needed to be in order to compensate for the bend, the new pinion angle as well as moving them in towards the driveline about 6 mm. Also moved the shocks inboard, to the inside of the mounting bracket but eventually will cut the skidplate and move the links inside.and the shocks outboard. But for now, this thing really crawls. And has crazy articulation. Still has good pinion angle too. The alum rod was cut at 106 mm, in case anyone was wondering.

yes, mine has been hanging low for 6 months. i have seen no issues with the driveshafts. one thing i noticed was when i go up ledges and hand the driveshaft, it just spins me off the wall.
