SUPER FLEXY IFS ????? who wants it?

[Ldub]

Settle down gang...I'd guess that he's waiting on patent status.

Just a guess...

[BigMeatVX]

Ldub is right....
This thing works so well that I had it patented!!! These things take time...and $$$.

Target price for the kit is under $300.


Look for these to be available VERY soon.

d@#$ there are a few times i could have used that.

[RamAirZ]

LOL, and it should work with other Zu's, the distance between torsion bars should be about the same on Rodeo, Trooper, VX etc, especially considering that RS you got is the same chassis as your VX.

I have heard all this time that it is the same, but it isn't. the wheel base is 17" longer, it has the narrow stance upper control arms, not sure about the rear lower links. I know its close enought the same, and I have no problems drilling holes in stuff to make it work. I will see when mine gets delivered. Then order another one if its doable. Yippee!!! Another project (enter sarcasm here)

Um, according to the specs available online, the Isuzu Trooper RS has a wheelbase of 91.7" and the VX shows 91.8, 17" longer would be the standard Trooper at 108.7. The wide/narrow stance won't effect the placement of the torsion bars and even with/without those, it would still be considered the same "chassis". The distance between bars is the same on the trooper, VX, Rodeo and haven't checked an Amigo but will assume it is the same too seeing as the front 10-bolt's will interchange between vehicles. The wheelbase info comes from a few different car websites including edmunds as well as wikipedia and people who have documented it online. When you pick it up grab a measuring tape for us.

Damn KBB specs. I went to the trooper RS specs and it says wheel base 108.7". Thats what I get. I too would assume the frame rails are the same distance apart.

[BigSwede]

Yup, an RS is indeed 17" shorter than a S or LS (4-door) Trooper.

And the narrower stance deal is easily upgraded, as I have done on my RS.

Think there will be any rub/clearance issues with Kilby skid plates?

The Kit should fit finr with the Kilby skid plate...All the parts are positioned ABOVE the crossmember.

[tom4bren]

I'm all in for more articulation but I don't think it would be wise with my offset. Think I'd better pass on this one.

Hope Santa is nice this year!

Looks good! My questions:

1) What is the total weight of the parts?
2) What type of metal are these made from?
3) What type of finish? (painted or powdercoated)
4) Can you buy extra keys in the event of misplacement?

Not steal his thunder, but the key looks to be a hitch pin style key. Probably can be had at any RV store or pending the diameter, even a regular old auto parts store.

Paint is a good question, although I kind of like the green
