I got this from Bobby last week. I went out and beat on it and shse is still holding up strong. This kit is easy to put on, and takes a few hours to do. You have to tear your front end down to just the knuckle as you can see in the photos below. That takes the most time, putting the kit on takes 30-45 min at the most. The Steering now has 5 bolts on it and should take some of the load off the 4 studs that hold the steering arm on. I tore my studs out of the knuckle and never damaged my studs, just the knuckle. So upgraded studs would have not done me any good. That's why I got this kit and installed it. I will let you all know if I ever hurt it.

Good job Andy that will help a lot. That 1/2" bolt gives you about 16000 lb more strength.

There are not any pics on the longs website that I could find.

Thanks

BUMP. Come awn guys, someones gotta have somethin. I am wanting to get this going soon and I dont have time to drive to my buddys house that has all the equipment to make these things. I heard Long had a kit and I called him last night and he said he quit selling them as they didnt sell often enough.
