Kwik Jak

Its collapsed height adjusts from a easy-to-stow 12.5” up to 18.5”, and it has a 6” stroke. Multiple jack pad configurations allow the Kwik Jak to work on almost any vehicle. Another benefit of the jack it that it fits in a standard race car fire extinguisher mount for easy accessibility on tube frame vehicles. Kits are also available to adapt the jack to your on-board CO2 system or to use larger refillable CO2 canisters.

The “original power tool” of the off-road market is now available to meet the ever-increasing demands of the UTV market with this specialized Hi-Lift jack model.

The Hi-Lift UTV jack is superior to the factory-supplied UTV jack in that it allows you to lift the UTV from many locations, instead of being limited to specific points under the vehicle. It offers greater capacity with a 7,000 pound tested and 4,660 pound rated load limit. Additionally, the Hi-Lift UTV jack outperforms the factory-supplied jack in that it is a true “multi-purpose tool” that provides the ability to lift, winch, pull, spread, and clamp. It can be used in all conditions… water, mud, sand and even snow.
The Hi-Lift UTV jack is available with a full-line of Hi-Lift jack accessories, that make it even more valuable and efficient for many applications. Now, with the recent development of the Adjustable Tube Mounts, the Hi-Lift® UTV jack can be mounted easily and securely to any round or square tubing locations on a UTV… front/rear bumpers, bull bars, roll cages and/or roof racks.

Whiteline Automotive (Booth #20457) will introduce two new products at the 2009 SEMA Show.
Mustang KCA306
Part #: KCA306
Description: Roll Centre Kit
Application: Ford Mustang 2005 - 2010.
Retail Price: $297.23
Mustang KCA306 Product Information
Whiteline diagnosed 2005 on Mustang with a basic Macpherson strut front suspension that has poor roll centre control and excessive bump steer. With Mustang at standard ride height, front roll centre height is just over 2” above ground. With a mild lowering of only ¾” front roll centre migrates below ground level! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Basically it means you need a Whiteline Roll Centre Kit or “ROCK”! Mustang’s front roll geometry actually encourages roll the lower you go.
A Whiteline “ROCK” is designed to raise the front roll centre geometry by using specially engineered ball-joints and tie rod ends while still maintaining original steering geometry.
Tests on Mustang showed that raising the front roll centre resulted in a substantial increase to front roll resistance and a significant reduction in suspension compression of the outside front wheel during cornering – equals less roll. The kit also covers bump steer correction with specially engineered tie rod ends. Bump steer is the toe-in or toe-out of the front wheels as the suspension goes from normal ride height through full bump (suspension system moves up) to full droop (suspension system moves down).

Camaro W93194
Part #: W93194
Description: Rear Crossmember Inserts
Application: Chevrolet Camaro 2010
Retail Price: $161.00
Camaro W93194 Product Information

D8-4 Calipers
Wilwood’s
front and rear D8-4 calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for OE
calipers on ’65-’82 Corvettes. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless
steel pistons and competition style high-temperature seals put an end
to the rust, bore pitting and seal failures that plague the original
caliper design. D8-4 calipers mount in the original location over stock
rotors, use the same style OE D8 brake pads and OE master cylinder.
Save weight and gain reliability with the D8-4.
Note: Fits C2
and C3 factory steel wheels and C3 factory optional aluminum wheels.
Does not fit Kellsey Hayes or replica knock-off wheels.

D52 Calipers
Wilwood’s new
D52 calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for all ’68 and later GM
musclecars, passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks originally
equipped with the big, single piston D52 pad calipers. The calipers are
built to mount in the stock location, with stock dimension rotors,
using regular OE type or aftermarket compound replacement pads and
fitment anywhere the OE calipers were used.
The new D52
calipers provide a lightweight, high-strength, extreme-duty alternative
for customized street machines and all competition vehicles that still
require OE mounting. The forged billet aluminum bodies provide a
substantial weight savings, without rust or corrosion, over the
original cast iron calipers.
Stainless steel pistons with high
temperature bore seals minimize heat transfer and provide maximum
durability in the most extreme circumstances. A smaller bore rear model
is available to help maintain proper front to rear bias on vehicles
that have been converted to four wheel discs. Optional color finishes
are available to compliment wheel, tire, and rotor upgrades on all
types of customized machines.

ProSpindles
Wilwood’s
ProSpindles are designed for custom suspensions configured around
Pinto/Mustang ll geometry. The standard height version is used for
applications where you wish to maintain the stock ride height. The
2-inch drop version is utilized when you want to effectively lower the
ride height without disturbing the suspension geometry. The one-piece
forged steel body is lightweight, yet nearly three times stronger than
OE or aftermarket two-piece cast and steel replacement spindles.
Bolt-on
steering arms are strong and allow the same spindle to be used on
either side of a vehicle. The steering arms may also be inverted to
help make corrections for bump steer based on the steering linkage
location. Additionally, the spindle is one half-inch taller than OE
spindles which effectively raises the front roll center geometry for
improved handling characteristics. Integral mounting bosses on the
spindle body provide the strongest possible attachment point for
caliper brackets. ProSpindles use common Pinto and Mustang ll tie rod
ends, ball joints, wheel bearings and seals.
