They're already priced on their site at 199.99 per axle.

Holy

Theyre beautiful!

Hope there will be a set coming my way soon... I assume they work?

Thankyou for staying true to the design!! apart from the protruding cap screw kingpins (instead of button heads) They look absolutely stunning!

ooh comparison shot please, show these next to a tlt axle

make sure to include longer m2 bolts and a couple of nuts, as highlift leaf springs can be bolted directly onto the axle - without a u-bolt

Why the shock mount on the rear axle is at the bottom while it is on top on the front axle ? Is it correct ?

is correct, rear shocks need to be mounted low and at steep angles to accomodate drop beds. Of course fabbed mounts could be used if theyre to low for peoples liking.

The front mounts are higher, front shocks usually fit under a rig fine and it does work better having them mounted above the axle.

The front mounts have a potential issue with shock clearance at full lock, this would only be a possible issue when using the current design white scale shocks - as they have massive ball ends.

These are done already, so we cant change them in black anymore. We have 10 set of these made, 1 set goes to Leo, 1 set goes to our tester. There will be some changes done still base on Leo's suggestions. We will be working on the black version shortly as well.
