Looks pretty simple to me. Just a new top and bottom bracket.
But I'm wondering what the main advantage is? Travel is still going to be limited by the CV's is it not?

I need a kit as my engineer doest like custom arms.can't see the difference if its made by a proper welder I'm looking at going to a longer cv and bonous of moving wheel forward Also looking at droping the diff and arm mounts down 3" so arms and cv sits level at ride height. I'm more interested in down travel and belly height then front diff clearence.skid plates fix that Do u think a sierra cromo cv would be stroger then a ifs lux cv i don't like how the lux stub sticks out so far

Nope. Not even close.

Heaps want them but none are prepared to fork out for them. All the parts u need alone add up not to mention the big guys labour. Just limit travel and smash a locker in. Is it bigger tyres combined with lift that kill them?

The problem with doing hilux CV's on the 1.6 is that you HAVE to do the hagen mod. The SV's area plug and play scenario.

highly doubt that fatz will even come close to making his money back on the R&D for such a small production run of one off control arms. see if these turkey's will sell their arms separately http://www.4xfourart.com/eng_vitara.asp
