so whats up with the front wheels at the 38 to 50 second mark in the video, watch the drivers side wheel, as the vehichle leaves the ground the drivers side wheel darts in to the passenger side, but the passenger side wheel stays straight???? im not getting that "i gotta have" feeling..
perhaps Rough Country will address this before production

Yeah that's odd! Seeing the DS tire turn inwards yet the PS tire is still straight.

Did you see the constant jumping they were doing? Do you expect any ifs lift to hold up to those jumps because I don't. Something had to have broken to make the wheel turn like that. Plus they were probably using less than stiff shocks on that bad boy.

Yeah I dunno what was going on there! They said nothing broke and it held up so either they are lying or there is something seriously messed up with that kit. I really don't have any intentions of doing any more of an IFS lift than what I have right now. Any future lift will be SAS but that is scary to me what would happen if that tire did that traveling down the road or something?

They said they did a lot of torture testing on it so im sure something would break.. It even says that was "one" of the tests done... Poor truck. ..
