Normally you can contact the manufacturer and request certain items left off. Might save $100 for them taking off the shocks. Send them an email.

Rusty is a good guy know him very well as he is good friends with some of the members in my jeep club in ocala, fl. I have the 3.5 basic and run it on and off road alot and no complaints. Eventually going to upgrade to the advance as the money comes in. FYI I like the shocks it came with but to everyone there own. If your not busy Oct 27 and 28th is jeeptober fest here in ocala, fl and he'll be there if you want to personally ask him questions. He's a nice guy and like it was said earlier everything is made in the usa.

Im not too picky on shocks, unless they are flat out horid. Im sure they will be fine for my tastes. As fun as jeeptober sounds, I dont think I can make the 1000 mile trek, but thanks for the offer!

Well thankya sir. I am almost sold now (again) on your budget kit. Your control arms look stout, and I would really like to build on the kit as money allows. I think the shocks will be just fine for me. Im not too picky. How much actual initial lift is typically gained on a 4 door rubi? I have stock bumpers and no winch or any weight adders. And how well does that front Y link work in comparison to the two separate links on each side?

They seem to be a bit quiet in the JK work yet. They take the cherokee's by storm... I dont know why the JK stuff wouldnt be good too.

And I am guessing there is no issues without replacing the rear sway bar links?

FWIW- I ran his shocks on my TJ for years(and coils, arms etc) and they were nice and soft. My total height was about 6 inches of lift. I would buy them again.

Thay was my thoughts too. If it has any decent amount of articulation than shafts would have to be needed. Its a grey area though... probably fine to cruise down the road with the stock shafts. Im sure exhaust work will be needed on the '12's and '13's too, wouldnt it have to be?
