Price: $1,125.00
Pros: -durable quality parts -came with braided brake lines -leafs have shown minimal sagging overtime
Cons: -RE shock performance on and offroad
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I have had this suspension setup installed for roughly 20k miles now and i must say it is a performer offroad and a quality product for the price. My only grudge with the kit was the shocks. I personally didn't like the feel of them on the road and the dampening offroad. I replaced them with Fox 2.0s and its been smooth sailing offroad and on ever since.

Price: $1,300.00
Pros: Complete Kit, strong tubular control arms.
Cons: No real instructions or walk through. Alot of squeaks.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Over all a good kit. On the high end of the price scale, but I got it with the regular mono tube shocks.

Some instructions or walk through would be appreciated, as I didn't really get too much direction about everything that was shipped to me. When replacing just about all of your suspension items it is also a great time of find out who your true friends are, as you will be calling on them alot.

Also installing an SYE that is required with this kit, (and sold separately) is really not that hard, and is one of the best ways you can get rid of drive line vibes. The SYE (adapter type SYE) with NEW RE drive shaft will run you roughly $500 so keep that in mind.
Secondly Rubicon Express also recommends 4 degree shims to be installed to angle the rear end upward, (depending on your year) to make it more inline with the drive shaft. Also sold separate.

NOW you can, as some others might say, go with a transfer case drop kit to make the drive shaft angle less severe, but i went for strength and pure manleyness.

Last it comes with front extended bumpstops, but the (usually) rotted ones in the rear are not mentioned. Im still looking into the proper length for mine.

Im sure there are better reviews out there, but there is my 2 cents. Will add more later.

Comments: Excellent kit. The parts are much beefier than stock. The installation was pretty straight forward. I was able to complete it in two days with minimal assistance from a friend.
