They just used a cradle drop.. well, something like that.

They also put a stronger diff in there.

No cradle drop,they used longer knuckles(prototype SuperLift ones).

How would that fix the problems with the CRD's cv angles?

I believe this is the style of kit they modified. Superlift and AEV.(?)

They had to relocate the front diff. I got a close look at the suspension a few years back at E3 and the half shafts were 100% level and there was plenty of room between the tires and the body. Think "Pinch Weld" and that's with 35 " tires. They put a big solid tubular bar in front of the cradle also, I think for protection since they moved the front diff forward and down.

A good pic of the front end would be nice also.

Yep.........

Having a blank check,know-how,and the tooling to make it happen anything can be made.

Custom cradle,custom knuckles,different front diff,custom front diff brackets,longer rear LCA's/tri-link,D44 rear diff,custom rear body work(extended rear wheelwell's and custom flares) are just to name a few.

The question is: How well does/did it perform off-road compared to say, a JK with 35's and how much better than a KJ with 32's and 4" lift?

Take a closer look at fulltimers door handles next time he posts some pics. He has done the same thing himself by just drilling holes in the handles. I saw it in person and it looks AWESOME!

Looking closely at this pic I now know how they did it.

You see the extra steel beam under the unibody? That's your cradle drop.

Then look at this pic............

It's a custom cradle,taller cradle,not a cradle drop.
