Like everything they sell, it is ridiculously over-priced. 75% of the cost is apparently for someone to cut little brackets out of steel. I'm not an EVO fan, but they have coilover kits that are well tested and better engineered, for far less than that. Shoot, you could drop you Jeep off at EVO, get a stretch, custom comp cut fenders, and a full coilover, for way less. Sorry, but Genright is on crack selling $2k worth of coilovers and $200 worth of brackets for $15k.

Is this something very new? Not that I would pay that or could afford it, went to check it out at their website. The only "Elite Coilover kit" they have is for the TJ, LJ, and YJ. Kit was around 6k with all the options.

The price just for the aluminum skid is ridiculous.

And it still requires you buy a tank relocation kit and a couple other things. You're into it for way more if you actually get it! Crazy
