I would be interested, but since these aren't mass produced, I don't know if Al can really afford to shave anything off the price. I'll be watching this thread. If it's a possibility, count me in.

I would love to shave some bucks off the arms, but than I would feel like cr** because there are a dozen of brave souls out there that paid the full $350. I would feel like they are getting screwed. And right now I can't retroactively send them money back. To all of those who paid the full price, give me some feed back, would you feel diss'ed if I reduced the price, or offered free shipping on a group buy. In addition, I will need to a head count on how many, I would need to stock up on the bushings, steel, and ball joints. Than I would need to get my semi-motivated welder to produce for me.

I need feedback guys!

Al

Businesses do group buy discounts all of the time and people pay different prices. Rusty's Lift for one. In late 2004, a bunch of us (~18, I think) did a Rusty's 2.5" lift group buy and got a big discount. I am sure quite a few people already had a Rusty's lift and paid full price at the time and since then. Group buys are hard to come by but I also understand your situation.

I think 15 to 20 of you would be a good number to say knock $35 off (10%), 10 to 15 will get free shipping which is around $10 to $20 off depending where they are going. The price will come down further, if you have a good looking sister (middle aged) that likes old, fat balding ,married men :twisted: :lol:

I torn the upper-ball joint bushing on the passenger side when taking apart the front assembly and trying to put the Frankenlift assembly in. I, too, would be interested in a set of these, group buy or not.
