Is that lift that never took off or what happened to it?

Depends on how you mean "never took off" it was an ill designed kit that had so many problems which the company NEVER helped out with. A few were sold and no one really had any luck with it , well unless you only drove it on and off a trailer for shows.
In other words it was a piece of C*#@
Hopefully if they had any kits left they cut them up as scrap!!!

No I am sure others can chime in here that were around when that lift came out, parts were not strong enough, things bent, broke etc. The company would blame the person doing the lift, was not good at all. DONT even think you can buy one and make it work. It was junk! Trust me, its not worth discussing.

The rear part of the lift was fine,it was the front part that was a disaster.It was a hack diff drop,leaving the steering rack in place,drilling a hole in the weakest part of the knuckle for the new steering mounts,and no provision for a front anti-roll bar.It was totally irreversible unless you wanted to spend about $3000 more to reverse the hacking of the front cradle and all the OEM suspension mounts,the lift was $3000 and needed about $2000 more inparts to complete and from the few places that did them it was $3000 for labor(very labor intensive,alot of cutting and welding),not a "do it yourself" kinda lift at all.
