I'm running the 5" Fabtech crawler with the Dirt Logic shocks no coil overs though. And so far I love it. Takes the highspeed stuff like nothing and at TDS it did great. I'm running 37" Mickey Thompson's and they fit real nice even when I had the stock flares. I dont know many other people running this kit, the only ones I know of are me, the Mastercraft JK and the Fabtech JK. But my is that its a good kit. Haven't had a bunch of time on the trails yet but it does ride good on pavement too.

My kit took me 4 and a half days to install but it was also my first lift and I was tryin to not sit in the rain as much as possible. The only hiccups I ran into was with the passenger side rear lower control arm mount really. And that was because I ended up walking out the mounting hole to get to Fabtech's specs.

First pic is obviously with stock flares and then after my Evo sliders and Xenon flat flares. You might run into a hiccup or two my advice is don't use the cam bolts, just adjust the links and have a bench vise to put on the heims, would help alot.
