Looks like mark has another 3" lift variation? Labeled as 3" lift/level kit. Better? Worse?

Cheaper for sure, which would be spectacular with my hurting wallet.

Good question. Looks like a cast version of the last 3" lift. I know Mark was working on a casting shed in his back yard, I guess this is what precipitated out of that.

Wouldn't that be heavier?

Only one person is currently running his new lift. All this is going to so is replace his old kit which some guy makes for him and mark will be making the ones seen in the picture.

As Trail X mentioned, it's a cast version of what he's been selling.

Yup
Another new product from my foundry.
It was designed for the guy on a tight budget that wants 3" of lift.
There are 10 kits out there as of today.

I don't think cast aluminum is any heavier than billet. In fact due to porosity, it may be slightly lighter!
