Which portaband saw worked for you?It was my first ever. It's not hard. Time consuming. If I would have had another adult person with me and a lift I would have been alot quicker. My 11 year old simply didn't have the lift or the knowledge of what I was asking him to be efficient.
Would I do it again? In a heart beat.
There's also a few of us around here to bounce questions off of or help if you get stuck. The instructions leave a bit to be desired.
Read this step by step about 5 times before you order.
This is the only cut I made with a 4" angle grinder. took FOREVER.
All the cuts after that I used my portaband. MUCH faster, much cleaner. If I can advise anything it's find a way to cut metal with out the death wheel. Portaband was difficult because you had to hold your mouth just right to get the cut you needed but again worth it.
295/75-18 off the top of my head. Yup still love it. Happy i dis it. Might change the wheels to get a different offset and run 37's. We'll see.What size are your tires? Your truck looks great, looking at this lift and Superlift. Have you still been happy with the kit?
Well you're in luck, the full kits are back in stock.Thanks for bumping this thread ^ .. I've been wanting one of these kits for a while to replace my 4" RC lift. I love the aluminum steering knuckles and proper geometry they give.. I emailed AEV a few months ago asking if they'd sell me just the knuckles but they said no :/ if anyone knows of any being sold used im all ears! Honestly the RC knuckles are probably the biggest factor that makes that particular lift ride worse than others.

I reached back out and AEV does in fact now sell the knuckles themselves. Here's the link they provided: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aev-nrm0054aaThanks for bumping this thread ^ ..
