You can buy directly from circle city rc on Facebook. I actually just bought one and sold it to have him print me a custom for a front mount. Great quality. And the plastic is super slippery.

Ive been eyeing this up for a few months. I may have to pull the trigger on this as I get hung up on "Big Body Betty's" belly often. The link risers are a plus too.
What pins do you need for the links though?

You guys are a bad influence on me!!
I just pulled the trigger on the Circle City one. He is going to include the link bolts for me.

I just drilled mine to fit the stock ones. They are in between the frame rails anyways so it's not gonna fall out.

Here is a custom skid I had him print for the same cost. $25 with link bolts. He deleted the raise for the stock trans and the 4th link mount in the front to fit the t case flat on the skid for the most room and best drive shaft angle as possible.

Looks really nice, great setup with tranny and transfer case! Great price too. Got mounted pictures yet?

Sold it before I even mounted it. Went a different route with the build.

Just bought this skid. Does someone have a pic of their link setup on K5 with this skid? Do not know if it's possible to move the links on the inside of the axle mount?

As long as the link clears everything else, just use a ball end in the usual link location (as a spacer), longer screw, flat washer, and lock nut. "thumbsup"

fitted mine today and the suspension is like a brick, no movement at all. removed some meat from the corners so the rod ends can move and still no luck!

Pictures? Something is probably still binding.
