And to answer your question they are stock Pathy lowers that are extended and boxed the uppers are just extended and gusseted.
Stock ball joints for easy and cheap repair poly bushings for quiet and smooth suspension travel.
Buddy of mine made them since he has access to lazer cutter and tig welders
OK break it down! :D
Can you show us some pics / diagrams of the improvements?
Maybe I can get something similar done here!

Nice thing about this is that you do not need wheel adapters to fit our stock wheels on there. For T-Swapped Fronty's/Pathy's, that adds an additional at least 0.75" since the axles and spindles are for the T/Armada, and with thsa additional width, there is no additional travel, just width.

Although there is the option to use the V8 Pathy CV axles and retain closer to stock track width w/ added travel (with the T-swap of course, not this).

At the moment im limited buy the weight of the front since the springs are the 700lb ones and the Radflos dont really travel alot i think im at about 12-14" of travel.
I was trying to figure out what to do in the rear since the arms dont really move that far down. Thinking about doing a titan swap after my front is done

I would of done an extend front titan swap but i would lose my locker so i kept that stock.

That's not bad!
I think the Radflos offer the most travel of the shocks available for the Pathy!

Maybe if we change the location of the lower perch, it could take a longer shock...hence more travel?!?

I dont have pictures of the 7" wide arms on my buddies Pathy but he made a shock tower fairly easy and i will be going that route after i find some decent used 14" + travel shocks for the front. He had 20" travel with out cvs installed but will have to limit it when i install my cvs.
