Default Donahoe Racing

Just thought I would pass this along.

"We are currently working on a few systems for the new JK. We
will be developing and 2", 4", and 6" System. I am not sure on any of the
specs as of yet since it is still in the prototyping phase. We should have
these systems available by the end of April. As we get closer to the actual
release date we will have more specs and pricing available".

Anybody want to speculate how pricey these kits will be?

As far as price goes, I'm sure it won't be cheap but I'll bet it rides real nice

Default Windshield bracket light mounts

Where do I get those brackets on the Donahoe Jeep to mount my off-road lights?

Sounds like they are a good company. I can see the benefits of the dual rate springs but other then that will this suspension system really be that much better than what is out now?

The adj. collars on the control arms and track bar are interesting. Seems like it would sure be easier to tighten or loosen to dial things in. But at what price. I think there will definitly be sticker shock on this one.

In the Toyota world donahoe parts are top notch and are never cheap. It is the typical case of you get what you pay for. They are not in the business of building "lift kits" as much as they are in the business of making "racing suspensions." Much of their product is designed for high speed desert racing and the lift is just a nice addition so to speak. However i would assume for the Jeep crowd they have designed a nice blend of the two.

I will be highly considering this kit when it comes time.
