Their rock rails are really cool looking also
Oh no doubt I would not pay install fees since I have the crew to help.... I think if you ran 35s you would not have any issues. So really they run about the same as a nice lift and shocks. Plus you don't run the risk of voiding the warranty with a lift..

The only thing I dislike is the rear because you have to put the whole rear armor plate on to mount the fenders to it.

A member on here has them. He messaged me when he seen my post about them. He had installed and his body lift removed because it was squeaking. He still cleared 35s he said. I asked him if he had really flexed it hard disconnected and he said yes and no rubbing.

I'm still curious about their 6pak shocks. I'm wondering if you'll be able to throw them in with any lift kit or if you'll have to use their coils/CA's and whatever else comes with it.

i believe you run them like a coil over system ----->>" The 6Pak is an alternative to Coil-Over shock performance, with the ease of a factory bolt-on shock."

Just ordered evo gussets and control skids from northridge. A double gift, since I busted the cherry of my southwest credit card with the purchase. I will now get 50,000 points which is equivalent to two free round trip tickets. The best part is that I am currently an a-list flyer and with the new reward system this will put me to a-list preferred and very close to companion pass status. If you don't travel much you won't appreciate this. I will pay the 69 fee along with the gussets and close the account. ROCK ON!
