New SLR '05 Frontier Lift Kit

[igbar]

Does anyone know of anyone who has the new Spencer Low Racing lift kit installed and how much it costs? I first saw pics of it on the "Rockin' Frontier" at the 2005 SEMA show. SLR is offering it on their website but I haven't seen anyone who has it installed on their rig. I've heard good and bad things about SLR but I'm still too chickensh*t to preorder from them myself. Feedback?

To answer my own question--I did some searching and I came across these specs for the Lift Kit. I found it at http://www.clubfrontier.org/

One of the members emailed SLR and this was SLR's response


Here is a breakdown of all the technology associated with our new system:

· CAD designed suspension and bracketry

· Constructed from Lasercut ¼” A36 Plate

· CNC machined steering clevis

· CNC machined spindle

· 4130 Heat Treated Tie Rods

· SLR designed billet UCA’s with uniballs

· SLR 3 piece rear crossmember to brace differential

o Ties in rear LCA drop down pivots and crossmember

· SLR Deaver Add-a-Leaf System

· SLR 1” or 2” Shackles

· Front King 2.5 Coilover w/ remote reservoir, Bilstein Rear Shocks

· Other options:

o King 2.5 Hydraulic Bumpstop: acts not only as secondary suspension, but also as an adjustable sway system

o Deaver Full Replacement Pack: benefiting from a computer aided design, this is the ideal way to improve performance over the OEM set-up



The system runs about $3,599.00, mostly due to the high cost of the KING shocks, which receive no mark-up due to this fact. We have an initial run of 10 systems that are available. I currently have 7 of them sold, and am taking deposits of $1000.00 to secure a system part of the first run. The major delay in getting the systems to production is the time it takes to build the shocks. Please let me know if you would like to get in on the first production run.

The white frontier shown on the website has 35” tires mounted on 16” rims. These tires proved to not fit at full bump. We are recommending a 33.5 tire for production systems. At this time most aftermarket rims require the use of a wheel spacer in the front to clear the caliper, as proper backspacing is available in only a few designs from American Racing (the Moab and the Sidewinder). If you have any additional questions feel free to call the shop at 951-688-2025. Thank you for your interest in SLR.
