I was going to get this lift also but couldn't find anyone else that had it, I went with the BlackDiamond 3 inch lift (got 4 inches) and I couldn't be happier. The one thing that turned me of from the RK lift was that it didn't come with shocks for the price

i am running it. i have it on 35s, but i get a little rubbing at full lock with a 4.5" backspace. not sure why. the ride quality is great - although due to a spring manufacturing error by their supplier, i still do not have the correct spring in the rear. it is supposed to be on the way, but they never sent me a tracking # like they said they would.

i read on 4wd.com that you are supposed to have rear wheels with 4" backspacing max? that is the only thing that is concerning me at all. i am getting the guy at 4x4rockshop to install all my stuff (i forgot his name forgive me) since i am within like 10 minutes of his shop... so we will see in a month or so i guess if i like it.

Rockkrawler makes great stuff. I love my long arm. Sooner or later the word is gonna get out. With the exception of FT, most included shocks are something I wouldn't be interested in anyway, so I viewed RK's lack of included shocks as a plus. RK kit +$300 for some Bilstein 5100s and I'm still way below other long arm kits. Do the math on the mid arm and you'll see how close it is.
