What was the frame difference? There was an interesting thread about ZR2 parts swapping onto a non Z Twin.

Curious if the wider stance comes solely from A arms, or the frame is also wider.

Post back when you find out if the spline count is the same, please. I'm eventually going to put a ZR2 front diff in my Z71, and one of the up in the air questions is spline count.

 

I will definitely keep you posted on this.

Will be interested on how this will impact the ride over the factory. How much does this cost?

Retail on the kit is $3699 - shocks sold separately.

We can definitely work out a packaged deal for you.

Just email me at jt@bajakits.com

Kit is going to be the very similar as the one we have out already for the non ZR2

 

One can dream$$$ :-(

"Our arms are more heavy duty and more durable "

These are stronger than the cast iron arms?

 

Well a uniball set up is inherently going to have durability/strength benefits over a traditional ball joint set up. I'm sure there are other benefits, but I'll let JT cover those

 

Any updates?

 

Install is scheduled is scheduled for the middle/end of February.

I will definitely keep everyone posted on this.

Thanks

I’d love to see a Air bump or hydro bump bolt in kit... and sway bar quick release all for the zr2

 

Just ditch your sway bar. I did two days after I bought the truck and haven't looked back

 

What size tire can you run with it? Open to other shocks besides Kings? I run Fox's on my Ultra 4 truck.

 

ZR2 is on the rack!!

 

Tell me about those lights in the grill?

See if that stock upper control arm joint at the knuckle can be replaced with a high articulation one! That will give a bunch more travel! At least let us max out the axle...

Are you doing a spring under axle in the rear? What are specs? Will it come with a plate?

 

Tell me about those lights in the grill?

Same here, what about those lights?

 

Here are couple pictures of the truck.

More pictures of the Suspension and the truck very soon...

 

Seeing this hes running way more pre-load than me. I think i want to bump mine up! haha it looks awesome!

 

I'm sure this is a great kit, but why anyone would pay the extra money on the ZR2 just to ditch the suspension, which is basically 90% of why you payed more for the truck in the first place, would rip it off for this swap is beyond me. But to each his own, and I wish JT the best of luck with their kit.

 

The ZR2 suspension is a great set up. The customer thought it would be enough but for what the customer plans on doing with the truck, he needed a little more.

Look at the Raptor guys...off the lot, it's a great set up.

Half the guys are tearing it apart and dropping $50K on top of it.

It happens!

So, here are a few pictures that we took a couple weeks ago testing the new ZR2 set up!!

 

That last pic is great! What size tires?

 

285/75/17 Falken AT3

 

Are those Baja Designs hood mount brackets? My driver's side is angled like that too.

 

Any upgrade from the factory bump stops to air or hydro?

 

Not yet. There is not much space to work with down there.

This is how a ZR2 should look... Which Method wheels are those? Would you recommend any minor upgrades outside of just swapping the entire suspension system over to a full Bajakits solution?

The Grids.

We didn't have to upgrade anything on this build besides the standard stuff that is included with the set up.

Are you guys using the stock steering rod ends? Also, Any chance on an upper arm that fits the stock shock and loser arm? Something with that nice ball up there? I dream of a new upper arm, new steering linkage thats stronger and has more articulation....and a droop strap and hydro/air bump....

Stock tie rods with a custom tie rod extension.

We are currently in development on an OEM replacement Upper arm.

Nothing is set in stone just yet.

Can we get an update vid! Please!

 

Unfortunately we have nothing.

We had a video/photo shoot lined up with Method during the Mint 400 but the customer couldn't make it out

 

Is the reason for the method wheel need (or 0 offset need) to keep the tire away from the upper control arm at the uniball location?

Would it be possible to make these another 1.5-2 inches wider to fill McNeil fenders? Something with a new shock tower for a dual rate c/o?

I’m trying to plan out when these multimatics go pop.
