Thanks Kevin. I'm sold on the kit and will be ordering in a week or so? Are you running wheel spacers?

I didn't do too well measuring, but I'm guessing I got close to an inch and a quarter over on the front and maybe 3/4 inch in the back. The TF rep can tell you what you are likely going to see. I put 35s under there and the only rub I get is on my air dam that is just about to come off any minute now. The only gripe I had was with the instructions when it came to the rear track bar relocation bracket. The instructions don't really do a "great" job of telling you how to install it other than "Install rear track bar relocation bracket". That said, I did just look at the photo in the instructions and was able to figure it out...even with my Mississippi State Education.

Thanks for your input Kevin.

Nope. I'm running aftermarket wheels with like 3.5" backspacing and they stick out about an inch or so past the stock fenders. I absolutely love the look. If I was near Bartlett, I'd come help you install it. About half way through my install (by myself), I'd have given someone a ton of money to finish it for me, but once I got finished, I was glad I did it myself.

All else equal I would probably get RK. But to be honest not much difference between RK and TF. Maybe the warranty.

I installed the 3" TF coil lift with lower control arms and monster front track bar. I have bilstein 5100s for shocks. I have a 4door rubi with full AEV gear and 35s. I really really love the look. The lift cost me a little bit more with the arms and track bar but man is it worth it.

Rk all the way! I have the 3.5 X factor w/ bill 5100's. Im sure TF is just as awesome though. But RK has life time warranty and is beefy!! Not sure aboot TF. But i honestly think u cant go wrong with either one.
