The sliders are welded to the frame. There are 2 sealed bearings, one on each side of the spring eye. They are easily replaced if needed. Low Range has been using them on some of their samurais for a while but this is the first use for a swap kit. I have had the rig on the ramp and it flexes good. It is being held back by the rear. I just got some creeper joints that will be installed on the axle end of the rear Calmini lower control arms- this should help quite a bit. Low Range is also developing some rear coil springs to go with the kit for those who want both front and rear. I will try to get some flex pics up after the control arm mod but it might be a while before I get them on.

Here is another pic of the slider. The front kit gave me another 1 inch of wheelbase- I'll take all I can get.

Low Range felt, as did I, that the frame needed some reinforcing there. I think they will include the frame reinforcements with the kit.

Is there instruction on locating the slider for the springs used?

If you locate it too far forward, the spring eye is in the back of the slider and up-travel could be limited and the shock cover be over extended on droop.
If you locate it too far forward, the spring eye is in the front of the slider and providing limited droop and no restriction on up-travel.

all you need to do is figure out how much the spring will stretch when there is no arc. after you know that bolt the spring to the front and see where the rear eye is a just add the stretch factor in might be 2-4'' and put the slider so it just allows for the stretch and then the rest of the slider will be used for normal ride and for the droop on the spring. I figure there should be some good instructions with the kit, but i know from experience not everything has instructions.

Any updates on this kit? Is it something that low range is actually considering putting together and selling as a kit?

Points to know:

What are they doing for steering linkage?

Do they have a rear lift figured out yet?

Front driveline, will it need to be a custom one or will a spacer be sufficient?

What size wheel spacers are necessary to match the rear track width?
