Default Anybody got any info on Draken Off-road?

So I saw these guys last time I was out at Rausch Creek tearing up the comp course in an unreal JK.

Does anyone out there know about this company? Maybe even run one of their lifts? I'm really looking into this for the future when I make the jump to stronger axles...I planned to add long arms, but Draken seems to make extra-long arms.

Here's what I saw and what I want info on.

Seen there stuff. Extremely poor designs. Poor quality welding. On other forums, they are the running joke.

Just look at those pictures. The ground clearance of those arms is horrendous. They built a show jeep with 37s with a Dana 30 and no rocker guards. The control arm brackets are just nuts. Look at that crazy drag link.

I know that they are trying to do something different, but they need to hire an engineer.

Here are some more pics of their design:

I've had firsthand experience with their crap product, so spare me your peace, love, and rock n' roll bs!! I'm lucky that my bad luck with them was just regarding a bumper and not a suspension.. Just google them and look at the multiple negative threads.. I also find it interesting that whip_surgeon joined yesterday and decided to revive this 3 year old thread as his first ever post....... Hmmmmmm
