Looking for lift kit info
A buddy of mine just bought a 2016 JK with a "Battletech" lift kit. The guy he bought it from was the second owner/dealer so he didn't have much to say about it.
Anyone run this lift or know where to find more information on it?

After a quick google search, Battletech seems to be a video game. I've never heard of it as a manufacturer. Maybe some pictures of the suspension and steering would be helpful.

No clue what that is. Only Battletech I see is gaming related. Not sure if maybe someone created a Battletech "edition" jeep for themselves or what. That is not a brand of lift as far as I'm aware. Maybe I'm living under a rock.

Here are a couple pictures I snapped at lunch without getting too dirty. It is a 3-link design front and rear.
I did find 1 mention of adding Battle Tech Customs c gussets, truss and skids to a build but that was on another forum from 3 years ago.

I have not dug in to this far, but doing a little internet sleuthing around, seeing some hashtags of battletech associated with BCH Off Road in Georgia which Google says is "permanently closed". I am going to guess that maybe this shop MIGHT have lifted/modified the jeep for someone, and slapped kinda a house brand sticker on parts. Maybe they made their own control arms in house 
idk. That jeep looks like it might have been ridden hard. Who puts a truss on the rear and a 3-link on the front and doesn't replace diff covers?

Mor pictures from various angles and distances might help.

We all learned something today. 
Not sure there's anything to do with the info, but at least got to the bottom of it somewhat.
