Just to make who ever might consider ordering this kit aware and finds this thread that the parts descriptions on 4wheelparts/4wd/performance4trucks is wrong. For an accurate description look at rock krawlers parts description. That being said I ordered it at 4wd from a guy named Bryan who gave me an awesome deal. 500 bucks with a pick up from the local 4wheelparts store. This might not be a big deal in the lower 48 but 500 bucks to hawaii is a completely untouchable deal. Thanks man.....

 

Rock Krawler is having an early black friday sale. There last sale was for halloween and it was 20 percent. I bought the x factor mid arm system.

 

Just wanted to update this.


I received my kit the other day and installed it with only a few problems. The only thing thats really an issue is now the vehicle is pulling to the left. Install was easy. My jeep looks like a roller skate with 3.5 inches and 32's.

I am about to deploy and start saving for some king coilovers in the front so for now I just installed teraflex shock extensions front and rear. Because of this I can no longer fully stuff my tire and I am about 1 inch away from the bump stops in the rear and about 2 inches away from the stock stops in the front. I was thinking I would look into 3 inch longer stops for the front and 2 inch longer for the rear? Fell free to post information on this if it doesn't sound rright. Also there was slight tension on the front brake lines but I was able to simply bend the line slightly to release most of it. Still need to fab up brackets for the rear lines, no tension in back with them disconnected. I already tore my front drive shaft boot, any one know how long before it becomes a nuisance? I am take it out for a proper break in tomorrow, the only thing I am worried about is bottoming out my shocks and blowing one, otherwise I am pretty pleased with how it feels and performs.


Also, driving on the highway without caster correction strangely wasn't that bad. Only thing pronounced was when I was banking left on the freeway at 75mph I hit several pot holes and she bounced all over my lane. Bounced over some other pot holes at same speed while going straight and not really a big deal. At any speed 6o or under I really didn't notice much of a difference. Overall pretty happy with this kit, can't wait to get nice shocks/coilovers and big tires on her.

 

Some problems I encountered with the kit were that he supplied hardware for the new front disconnects they gave didn't fit through my sway bar. I busted 2 drill bits trying to drill the shit out and then just pulled some hardware off the old one and used it. And lastly (this was a major annoyance) the rear track bar bracket did NOT center my rear axle. I am going to call rock krawler and see what is up with that in the morning.

 

Heres pictures of the rear, not sure if you can tell by them or not but in person you can see it's offset....

 

 

I bought the RK 3.5 x-kit, Two things I've found is 1. the spring perches needed to be re angled so the springs don't bend like a banana.
and 2. the adjustable arms pushed the axle back one inch and the sway bar drop links bent on the shock mounts. Their answer is to relocate the rear sway bar back one inch with the supplied parts.
Problem is no relocation bracket came with the kit.
So I am buying parts twice, and haven't even been off-road yet.

 

RK makes some angled pads for the rear spring perches. Like $20, I think.

 

The kit says it comes with them, but 4 wheel parts (did the install) said they didn't come with the kit. and R.K said we waited to long to let them know. I said it's only been two weeks, they looked for a minute but couldn' t find the order for whatever reason, so wanted to charge me. I won't use them ever again. good lift but customer service wasn't there for me.

 

Wow I am shocked! From what I have seen on here and from personal experience Rock Krawler is top notch in every aspect from product to cust service. Did you contact them or did 4 wheel parts?
