hey clay/erin, was wondering if you guys have thought about making universal 4 link kits with your joints, tabs and what not ?
seen a few kits on the internet and thought it may be a way for you guys to make some more money !

I have but neve new what exactly to do. As someone on the other side what would you look for.

As a guy doing his first link suspension, I thnk it would be tough to have a universal link kit.   There are just too many little variable and I think guys get caught in the prefabbed vortex.

I love the EVO rod ends.
mounting tabs are pretty generic

I would look at Ruff Stuff for a good model of what to offer.  But even then you are going to end up having a lot of variations on a simple kit.

something like you did for me,

custom cradle to fit a vehicle model - ford, chev, (frame widths - bolt in) with bracketry to attache to axles and the links, I think the hardest part would be each initial kit, i.e would need someone with that style vehicle (whatever make, madel) to design one on and then just a matter of storing all the templates and when 1 requested boom bob's your uncle and emf kit out the door...

just my thoughts, cause you basically built a kit for me to install which fit a CJ-7 great and I have now modified to fit a 80 Chev frame (not as nice a fit though)

i agree with black horse, the yota i have has a custom cradle done by you!!
here is a link that i think could make you some more quick cash for the people in canada and the states

I agree with blazin_yota. Keep it simple.  Vehicle specific stuff is a huge task, especially these days when vehicle platforms change  so often. A universal do it yourself kit may be the way to go. Even off the shelf lift kits usually need some modification.

[Twister]

okay so a universal set up v'd to the top of the diff.  That price would be easy to match even with our joints.

[Jigger]

You could offer a 3 link too. Be pretty easy I would think.

ya clay that would be so sweet !!! i have a few buddies wanting to get into the link setups here soon. seen your work on the yota and they fell in love haha !
