How much does something like that weigh?

Do you have any issues with the Heims getting noisy? They make all kinds of racket on the long arm Jeep lifts.

receivers, 30 each
threaded BJ unit, 10
4130 plate, about 7 cents per inch.
TIG rod and gas, about 50
CAD design, done in house by Louie
CNC cut arms, done in house with our CNC plasma table.

man hours, priceless!

they take alot of time to weld up and put together. 10 hours for the lowers and about 9 hours for the uppers. I will post pics of the uppers when i finish welding them.

the weight is about the same as our 1.25" by .156 wall DOM units. The heim is one of our new signature series with the teflon liner. They are very nice and make very little noise over the cheaper ones without a liner.

Cool! The teflon idea sounds clever!

Hey Jason,

Awesome work there!

I'm curious, are you building this bad a$$ ride for yourself, as a shop car or for a customer?

Anyway, i love what you are doing, i can't wait to see it on the ground and am hoping for a MENACING stance!!!

Any idea yet on wheel/ tire size and choice? (You know that bigger is always better yeah?)

Lead.

Oh, how about you'd put all your follow ups in the same thread so we don't miss anything from new thread start ups?! This car deserve's to be seen built!
