It looks like they make a pretty nice product too.

I like those, they look great, and move it forward 1.75", that would work... However every-time I ask about 3" forward they shut me down with a response about "Axle bind", but it is interesting how the front axle (when stock) points rearward already, and if you only add that 1.75 the axle may be pointing straight out. I figured if they could move the axle forward as much as it was leaning backward (and do the opposite on the rears) I could get that wheelbase I wanted for hill climbing. Some mention how there is an interference issue, but Outkast has 3" forward arms?

its not axle bind i already answered that question for you. you run into clearance problems with the drive side lower front arm mount. so you have 2 options 1 no lift and move them forward or 2 lift and 1.5-2" foward

But, the other brand does it? (And I don't need a lift, that does just bind stuff up as it is rarely done properly)

they give you a bracket to angle lift your front diff to clear the lower mounts but there has been some issues with shock mount location where the axle still hits that mount

Those are not a bad deal, heck the SATV bushing kit is $90, I wonder what type of bushing material they have and if they are TIG welded?

Do the outkast hit the axle when fully extended? That sounds like a hassle if so, you would need to run some limit straps for sure, still...I want the machine to be 6" longer for spooky hills. :)

yes on full extension the ones ive seen could be solve moving the lower shock mount out 1/8 -1/4". this is why i only moved my kits to clear the lower bolt but i did move my rears back but not to much to make it look stuipd with the fenders
