    Putting it on my trailer with a fork lift would not be an option for me so I may see this one slip by..

    If someone were to buy this, try to get the AJE front that Frank already reworked. I'm currently installing my AJE front now, my adjustable control arms are to long and the rack would not center up with there holes, so there is rework. It's fairly easy work, but I thought it was a bolt in. With all the negitive talk about AJE over the internet I was planning on some rework. No one else offers Maverick strut type suspension, I have a lathe, mig and tig welders, so I was ready for the headaches. The reason I went this route is to save the stock frame rails that have my motor plate mounts, so I've been thinking if it was worth it. I installed a Bear's performance chrome moly back half about 5 years ago and that was a work of art, those guy's are good.

    Would love to see some pictures of the Bear's installation and what you are doing to modify the AJE to fit................

    The front suspension stuff can be bought for $2500(picked up or plus shipping cost if shipped) as it states in the auction.....


    If some one wanted the rear suspension, rear end and/or wheels/tires..... They will have to pay replacement cost, because I plan on this stuff bein used on my Comet build.....

    I have already sold and/or traded most of the interior..... I do still have the poly buckets w/velour covers and custom made seat mounts that I would make a good deal on.....
