www.offraodltd.com "Bolt On CoilOver Kit"

Shawn said:
I just called them for a price on this.

$3900!!!


:eek1:

I'd think the ORD coilover kit will be a better kit and be less $$$.
The ORD kit is for the rear and its weld on. They want $3200 for it. http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167735 so 3900 for a front, bolt on kit doesnt seem that outrageous. A front 4-link is more difficult to make and then being a bolt-on system ups the price as well
 
That price is really not that bad. Start priceing all of the parts and add labor and you are very close to what they are asking or more.

Toby told me ORD's front kit will be about $3500. Still a good chunk of change but less than LTD's. I think its going to include some extended shock mounts that are braced going across the engine. I'd much rather give ORD my money any day and you know it will be quality product with support backed behind it.
 
ORD is in the prototype stage for a coilover front kit right now.

It will be better than what this other kit appears to be for roughly the same $$.

They have had a coil kit on Stephens Sub for a year or better but are trying to get better packaging with a coil over shock.
 
well im going to be linkin the rear of my rig in about a month or so, so ill keep track of how much it all cost and report back ;)
 
Also factor in the cost for x-over steering. That is deff a must for any front coilover kit.

Wishful thinking here but I bet ORD's kit will include it.

Do you know if the ord kit will allow for forward axle movement? If I ever 4-link the front of my rig I want to move the axle enough for a 90 degree approach angle

Just put 54in boggers on it and you will get close lol.

The nice thing about link suspensions is that the wheel base is somewhat easily adjusted.
Depending on how far forward the axle goes will govern what you need to do with the steering. I would think that you would make it easy and just go hydraulic steering at that point.

The link arms would just need to be a bit longer in this situation. The way the kit looks the bracketry is going to be very location specific so it won't move just the length of the links would change.
