I'd stay away from them. None heard of brand and the kits missing a lot of stuff for three inches of lift. Save money now on a cheap lift and you'll end up spending a lot more in the long run replacing broken components

Don't do it. If you haven't done so already, read "My Thoughts on Lifts", you will realize what what you are looking at and what that kit lacks. Price isn't everything.

The components in the lift are high quality. The Skyjacker Nitro Shocks are a popular budget shock. The springs in the kit are make just for Mammoth and won't sag on you. The kit comes with cam bolts that you might want to swap with adjustable control arms if you wheel your rig. The cams are known to move, especially off road. The kit is solid and a great, inexpensive starter to get your rig lifted. Let me know if you have any other questions or would like a quote!

Nothing wrong with shock extensions other than they limit travel
