Very solid, handles good. The 35s rubbed a bit until I put additional length bump stops in. You “will” feel road vibration that you never felt before. Must have SYE. I now can go wherever my courage will let me.

I’ve put three of these kits on mine, my nephew’s, and a friends Jeep (2000, 97, and 2004 Rubi). I learned a lot in the process. You must have a SYE, and along with that you’ll need to have both rear shock relocators (on the axle) and an angled rear track bar mount to deal with the rotation of the rear axle for the CV driveline. You’ll need a good, and I mean Snap-On or Mac Tools, 55mm Torx driver. And last, be very careful in drilling the chassis mount end of the front trackbar. This is my only complaint on the kit, this end is very succeptable to loosening up. You’ll have to check it periodically after installation. This design is very common among aftermarket trackbars. As far as function, I ramped 950 with 33″ tires. I’m now running 35s and they hit the front fender just slightly under full compression, but I’ve got extra weight in the front. Also this lift kit runs higher than 4.5″ typically, and slightly low in the front. You may need to add front spring spacers. And my last thing, it can be a bit noisy on the trail, clunk noises under max. articulation.

Ive been running this for a while and It is a great kit, I would recommend it with an adjustable rear tracbar that way you dont have to mess with the brackets. But I give it 10 stars great articulation solid product.

I have been using this lift kit for about 8 months and it performs great. My jeep driving manners got better than stock (i must say that i am using Procomp MX-6 Shocks). But I have to mention that HAD to install the SYE. The only thing I dont like is that It has developed a small noise in one of the 8 arms.
