Same price,

You should be able to get by for awhile.

I havent heard of anyone else having problems, You could get by with the rear driveshaft if it does go out.

the front really isnt at that bad of an angle.

But do tell them or they will send regular springs, I got the regular and my front end sagged, BUT FULL TRACTION stood behind their product and covered it, I never let them know I had a bumper/winch combo so it was my fault, but afterwards I gained a full 2"

Question 3" causing Vibration and Wear Fast

You cn use the quick discos with the e-disco, just leace them alone... or as it will say in the instructons, move your rear links to the front and replace the rear with the rears provided in the kit. The kit performs nicely and am happy so far. They claim you don't need driveline mods, but as a few of us are starting to find out is that is bullshit and eventually your shafts will vibe and wear fast.

Can i ask why you went with the premium and not the utimate? I assume price, but it is just a little more to upgrade and has the ajustable arms which i will bet you will want in the future anyways.
Can anyone tell me what this kind of Wear on the Drivelines will do to your JK? And is this a simple Replacement of Driveline or something more serious like replacement of Axels , Transfer Case??? Thanks JDJ
