Drakan Offroad

Their 8" lifted jk on 39's was at the final rcrocs and i could not beleive at how... umm... "different" it was.

everything is entirely bolt on

it can only bolt to stock axles

they claim it is good for 42" tires (on stock running gear nonetheless)

and with the 8" you gain in suspension
you lose 8" at the belly

here is why they mountedthe arms so low

We started by designing a system to fit 40" tires without chopping up the truck to get them under there.We also wanted to have proper geometry which would allow us to successfully combine on-road drivability with extreme offroad capabilities.
The geometry of the links are such that any loss of ground clearance you mention, if compared to a high pitched-link system, is amply replaced by a very predictable and regular suspension cycle and drivability. This we feel this gives our system the edge on traction and body behaviour over very rough terrain. So any ground clearance we have lost compared to other kits, is compensated with the massive construction of our arms and the advantage of extra traction.
I hope this helps clear up why the links are the way they are.

puked a little i just did

hmm i dunno how i missed this rig at PAjeeps

[FireFighter32]

looks flimsy

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

looks like a hard sucking lift

If there were not a thousand holes in the xmember it would at least look beef, it looks like it's made out of appliance sheetmetal

holly shit stick

[justtorchit]

lol.... its like a pretzel when ya look underneath....

i gotta give them credit for coming up with a system completely different from everyone else... yet its full of fail

[Bigbike]

Do they make a kit for XJs?????!?!?!?!?

[Ktmracer419]

the upper links in back actually cross over eachother

i actually got lost under there. luckily i left a trail of breadcrumbs

The welding is pathetic for a professional finished product.

The holes aren't even the same sizes and don't properly line up. Some cheap fuck with a plasma and no layout or pattern.

[Ktmracer419]

he says it's a prototype and the finished product will be all water jetted laser shit and tig welded

all for $3900

[Danksters]

Oh that's all? pocket change

I saw that thing at the Bloomsburg truck show out in PA and at RCROCS like you said. I was like WTF this thing is fucking terrible. Looks cool to most, but thats it. It's also still running a dana 30. Dana 30 good to 42s? yea good luck I dont care if its a super 30. Rear sway bars on TJs can be good but at least take the front out instead of doing 8 inch drop brackets. I guess that keeps its "on road drivability." And the cuts and welds look like they were done by someone building a cheap lift in their back yard.
