    I tried search google and tried searching the Forum and couldn't find anything.

    Does anyone have any experience with something like this on a 1st gen?

    I found a cool setup at a local junkyard. The front brace hooks on each side of the front lower control arm brackets with a solid bar. The back brace hooks to the rear lower control arm brackets and wraps around the back. There is a bolt-on bracket to lower the sway bar and 2 bolt-on bracket for some sort of stabilizers (that's what I think it is).

    I don't see anything sold online so this must have been custom from a shop. I have a 2.5 lift on the front of mine. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it or if I need it? If anyone has any advice, i'd sure appreciate it. Looks like a sick setup.

    Below are some pictures from the junk yard.

    You used to be able to buy them as part of a 4-6” lift kit. I guess they didn’t sell as well so they discontinued a lot of them. They generally required a lot of permanent modification. :sawzall:

    No easy bolt-on lift kits when I searched in the past otherwise you’d probably see a lot more of them I’m guessing.

    If you do decide to get this kit, don't forget to grab the extension for the steering shaft. Noticed it while looking at the pictures...
