Will the Nth Degree shock shifters be part of the Nth line up form AEV?

Sorry for the long delay in answering this one...we missed it I guess.
Anyway yes, the SS will continue to be part of the NthLA systems as well as available separately. This is actually one of the products that has changed more than most as we've implemented some design changes that Nth was just about to make before they closed. The upper brackets are much simpler and will no longer require removing the bar pin on your shocks - which was becoming a big hassle with OME shocks since they started bonding their pins into the shocks.
The SS will be available next month along with the rest of the sub-kits that make up the longarm systems.

Jim,
That is great news. It just so happens that the Bar Pin is the reason AEV did not install them on my Jeep when I had you build it. The OME suspension was used and of course this was just after they integrated the bar pin. So we made the choice to NOT install the SS.
Please keep us posted on when these are officailly ready to ship.
Thank you,
Beowulf

Understandable beowulf, it's at least the second time in the last few years that OME has changed their shock bushings/mountings for the TJ...both times have been progressively worse for use with SS. You'll know when the SS is available when the announcement for the longarm systems goes up on the 'site...not too much longer now!

I think that's the reason I've never gotten around to installing my SS's. Any solution for those of us with the older design that's still in the box?

They already are. They're part of the longarm systems as usual and are also available separately as before. The webpages to make this apparent are not yet up on our 'site, but if you click through the depths of the TJ Long Arm pages you'll find evidence and info about the SS...or use this link:

If you want to order an SS, just call and they'll get you hooked up. The SS is the one item in the Nth lineup that has seen some real changes - ones that were planned at Nth but never implimented due to surplus inventory of the old design...now we've burned through that inventory and introduced the new version. mainly the difference is that you no longer have to modify the shocks to use them with the SS - it's plug-and-play. Also there is now a non-permanent adjustment that allows for more optimizing of shock lengths to your setup.
