Looks great, it's amazing what travel does. Dropping off ledges especially.

Should have bought a Jeep
Maybe because, for a lot of people, it'll require a tie-rod relocation kit? Including high-steer arms and so on? Or is the buyer expected to do that themselves? I assume the kit raises the Panhard so that's sort of a "given" requirement (the high-steer) unless you want bump steer
so fxxxing awesome...gonna need this, if only i could sell an organ!

Stage 3 $3470 Brackets, Link arms, Reservoir Coilovers/springs, Air Bumps w/ Cans, Limit straps w/tabs and Reservoir mounts. All hardware included
Stage 2 $3245 Brackets, Link arms, Emulsion Coilovers/springs, Air Bumps w/ Cans and Limit straps w/tabs. All hardware included
Stage 1 $2935 Brackets, Link arms, Emulsion Coilovers/springs, Poly Bumps w/ Cans, and Limit straps w/tabs. All hardware included
***All lower links have been upgraded to 2.25" OD with .375" wall.*** Standard 2.0" OD x .250 will be a down grade. I personally don't think 2.0 will last on these vehicles.
Hy Steer arms are up to you guys. It isn't necessarily needed, the parhard is adjustable in height at the axle end and will work with the stock position if you put a small bend in the panhard to clear the diff during compression. ***How ever I do feel your vehicle will drive better with hy steer due to a flatter over all position.***
The panhard heim or bracket has been turned 90*s form what we normally would see on a link suspension. The bolt on these kits runs vertical and the brackets spacing was increased to 4"s to accommodate a huge range of positions to fit the needs of the large amount of steering options available.
With Hell fire knuckles your steering options are: Tie Rod in back(factory position) and drag link up front. Or do what Justin and I came up with and when you get your knuckles from Billy ask to get Chevy TRE slugs for the his hy steer arms and run a Y-style. I had the ones for Justin made but I think Billy will be offering them if I can convince him its worth it.
Because of the awesome assortment of steering arms available both in stock form and after market there are several ways to address steering. I am 100% certain we can find some thing for every one.

How long are the lowers? 2.25 0.375 wall is way overkill for most links.
edit: not implying anything negative - kit looks great and beefy

2.5" coilovers? What spring rates are you using if you don't mind me asking?
Trying to get a gauge on the amount of lift you will end up with. What is the measurement from the center of hub to underside of fender?

Well I've seen guys with 2.0x.25 tubing bend on mini trucks. So with a heavier vehicle I didn't want to try the .250. Better safe than sorry.

35" for the lowers. And thanks
Justin set up the truck for max up travel. So he made the most of it. He has 6" of shock shaft and about a 4" lift. The nice part about coilovers is if he want more lift he only has to add preload to the springs, for every inch of preload you gain an inch of lift.
We are using a 200/350 spring. There two ways to get the truck lower. 1: use a softer spring or 2: use a triple rate system. I am not a fan of the later. There is a certain amount of spring rate needed and going softer has means more body roll. Not much and you can put a sway bar on if needed.
2.0"

We can drop you 2"s from what Justin is running. No problem.

Thank you sir!
Well, I know what I'm getting next year when I get my bonus and tax return! 
Is this picture from the gold land cruiser? If not, what setup is this one using?
I drive mine with the family to and from every trail and I also commute 52 miles it. For the best results you would suggest getting hellfire knuck is that right? Also, is there a specific reason why you went with 2.0 coilovers instead of 2.5? Is there room for 2.5? Sorry if it's obvious to others but I'm new to all of this.

Depends on the lift amount. Over 2.5"s of lift and the drag link starts getting a nasty angle to it. So to flatten it out we run hy steer. Hell Fire Knuckles are vastly superior to anything on the market.
That picture is from the first prototype we did last year. PKP80 on here.

What are the chances this would work properly on a RHD diesel? I know the panhard mount would have to change, but it's hard to get an indication of how integrated it is based on the pics that have been posted.
I trimmed the front fender but.. just measured 26.5" center to rear lip and 29.25" center to front lip. We set this rig up to match slees 4" lift springs in the rear. Hope that helps!

From my stand point it would never happen. But I may be persuaded to do everything except the panhard brackets and allow you to build your own.
