Cutom lift kit
interesting torsion bar idea. since the torsional action is being transferred to the LCA through a lever arm now you may need a stiffer bar to keep the same ride but looks like it should work fine. Lot of work though. Lets see some pics!

How does it ride? What kind of metal did you use?
Very interested in some more pics of the suspension, you and your buddies did an awesome job.
Whats your total cost to date for the lift? new shocks?
again very good job

More suspension picts coming soon... it's raining every day in Thailand
4 hr/day with 15 days work for this project and yah new ProComp ES9000 shocks.
Thanks dude
kool. I understand it.
for those wondering, not having those torsion bar hangars there makes a world of difference. Just because the diff is hanging low doesnt mean anything. on a solid axle, the diff hangs just as low, if not lower. whereas with ifs, with those torsion bars you can make the lower control arm push the diff up higher. which is turn, all you really have to worry about it getting your tire on that step up before your diff hits and youll be perfectly fine. without that stupid drop bracket, you wont have to worry about coming down hard on anything either.
good concept and design for ifs.

BUT a normal solid axle is cast.. not aluminum. aluminum doesn't like rocks. that and idk if i've ever seen a beefy cover for our front d35s.. its a weird shape, again my cover is 3/8" thick, made to bash.
I like the design, its pretty cool, lots of work put into it. good job man.

I've angle front diff up lil not more than 10 degree and angle front drive shaft down also about 5 degree.
