Low Range has all the parts for the kit but you will have to call them, I don't work for them. I have a couple thousand miles on the kit and it is still working fine. I do know they are having their own springs made for the rear and have made their own upper 3rd link and lower links. They may be waiting to finish testing the rear springs before they list the kit, just a guess, but I know they have it all there. I used 1.5" spacers for the front axle and didn't need a slip yoke eliminator for the driveshaft.

anyone have updates on this kit? I might just sell my 5.62's and swap to 5.12's to fund this swap.

yea, there was only a few made and at that time the price target was pretty high for a leaf spring setup I thought. I was (am still) wanting the trail-slayer.I don't want to ruffle any feathers by mentioning the mfgr. Hopefully something will happen soon with it though or maybe the prototype project kick could be passed on..... ;) ;)

I would think if wanted leafs front and rear that you would just buy a Samurai. ???

The leafs up front would be an economical alternative to a linked front though.
35 years of Samurai ownership, and I still have my very first one. :)

Yep, my thoughts were similar (other than having  a 4 door suv). But if the leaf kit worked well and was much cheaper than a trailslayer i would go for it.

I talked to low range today. "1-2 months out" (that usually means 3-6 or 6-99 months out). still in R&D and waiting on a couple parts. no estimated price yet.

How are these things holding up
Has this got slip yoke eliminator
How does it go with the slip box on the rear
Do u run in to problems with tire and firewall clearance under compression
I would like to do this but with the box at the front
I think a rear kick diff with samuri ends
Double tuffs and custom axels

I saw the Calmini SAS kit this last week in Moab, it's a pretty nice setup.  8" travel front shocks and mostly bolt on, even uses a stock drive-line so you don't need to convert it to flanges.  I really liked the braces for the strut towers.  I would look into their kit.
