Price: $850.00
Pros: Easy install, great ride (better than stock, imho), and well designed and constructed.
Cons: Not sure I like the way the lower front shocks mount. I think the stock is a better design as it has holes rather than slots to bolt the shock in with.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Way smoother ride than my 10 year old suspension had, it also doesn't dive during braking, it doesn't have the heavy feel I had before with the weight of the bumper, winch, etc. pulling it down. The OME steering stabilizer helped in that as well I suspect. Highly recommended system if you don't need to go too high!

Price: $300.00
Pros: They ride great.
Cons: A and B springs with different heights for driver/passenger side...and they don't tell you that with instructions.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I like the spring constant. There is not much body roll when turning with these springs, but my factory springs were completely worn out so I may be used to them flopping around, I had significant roll with the old springs. I got the lift on and admired my jeep, and then a few days later learned that one of the front springs and one of the rear are ~1/4" taller than the other, and they don't have instructions to tell anyone that.

Price: $640.00
Pros: Easy installation, good instructions, seems like good quality lift components and a good ride after install
Cons: Kit should include track bar brackets or adj track bars or a recommendation for them.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Also, I installed front/rear upper CAs to adjust caster and pinion angle for my 2 door. This way the rear Rzeppa joint should be OK. The lift yields more that the advertized 2.5 inches and I have 3 in front and about 3.5 in the rear, but I also have a heavy front bumper and winch. The kit does come with front spacers for leveling if you want to install them. The lift in the rear worried my regarding the Rzeppa joints and the adj control arms solved this a brought the xfer case joint back to about stock angle - thus the joints should be OK. On the front I had to adjust caster back to about 3 degrees and I have had no bump steer or DW in over 5k miles as of this writeup.

Comments: Outstanding!!! Best money spent so far. Rear track bar relocation bracket was a bugger but worth it. Wanted to keep a near stock look with increased performance and larger tires. This did it all.
