Yah, I too read it. Damn good article. I wonder who the other "6" companies were that they "offered" to be there were. CUz they "offered" it to 15 companies who make lift kits for the NBS Torsion IFS trucks. You guys noticed "Fabtech", with all their "racing expertese" didn't even show up.

I really wanted a RockKrawler kit, that thing is way cool, and the design is near perfect. But 8.5" is a little much, and $8K (the add was a misprint, the kit on the test truck was $8000, their standard 8.5" kit is $4300, but that doesn't give you coilovers in the rear.) is way too much to spend. The $4300 kit they offer isn't to bad and it does give you new springpacks in the rear for more travel?? But this article made me think more into the CST kit. Nicely built kit too. But I wouldn't go with the dual Fox's up front? For some reason the short "travel" those have mounted where they are just doesn't seem right?? Know what I mean.

I own this issue. Great for those who plan on keeping IFS. I dont plan on keeping ifs but if i did, i would go with either CST or BDS.

This is a little outdated anyone have anything more recent? I'm thinking for a 2013 Chev 2500?
