Thanks Eracer76. I look forward to seeing pics. I am leaning towards this lift. My other choice would be the Full Traction Ultimate.

Are they also going to be drop shipped from RE like the lift, or are they getting shipped to you first?
Im really hoping to get them by next Friday so I can install everything over Memorial Day weekend

this is the kit i'm looking at for my 2dr. is it possible to customize it at all? i've got a rubi, so i don't need the Gen2's (though i suggest them for you guys without the in-cab, i had them on my TJ, and i loved them), maybe save me a couple bucks?

Did you have to do any drivline mods or is this direct bolt on? Looks good. Did you have to use spacers with them tires? Any alignment problems? Thanks

RE kits are fully customizable. You can pick and choose any components you want or dont want.

I have a tracking number, it'll be here Friday!
I can take some pics of it laying on my garage floor....because I'll still be waiting for shocks to show up before I can install anything :sad:
PICS!!!!!

EDIT: I didnt go to the last page....I'm having a moron moment. I saw the silver Rubi with the kit on... VERY NICE!!! Looks like plenty of room for a little bit biger tire.

If you didn't want the Gen 2's and wanted to source extended links separately, we certainly could subtract them from the kit, but in the past on the TJ's RE has only offered us about a $45 credit for removing them. You could probably sell the Gen 2's for more than that on your own.

If RE has a standard extended link you could swap to those for a little discount too, but it wouldn't be much. I've emailed my rep to see if they offer, or plan on offering anything along those lines.
yeah, i opened my mouth without thinking. i know the kits are customizable.

i knew that i'd need longer links, and you're right about reselling the Gen2's. i'll probably just build my own end-links
