yes, but i have some additions.. jks track bars, and shock extensions.. the new links allow for alot more travel up, but not down. thats why i got extensions. i ran the kit for a while just the way u buy it and it was great.

Excellant! Thanks so much

I am leaning towards the TF one, due to the fact it has sway bar links provided

Thanks for all the help everyone!
I was running the stock sway bar links on my Rubi, disconnected using the stock e-disco, when I bent mine up. If you lift your Jeep up, the stock front links are too short, and end up wrapping around the wrong way when disco'ed and fully flexed. There are several threads on here that show people having this same issue with the stock links on Rubi's.

I now have the JKS links, which are adjusted to be longer than stock, to keep this from happening again. I do not know if the TF links are compatible with the Rubi or not.

Well, there you go! Looks like either kit will work for you, spleify.

Thanks folks. I wonder why RC doesnt supply different sway bar links with there kits, if they are something that is needed, and still sells it for the same price.

The more I think about it, the more leary I am of putting one of these kits on. Am I scaring myself for no reason, or is there real concern about damaging something?

It is nothing to be all that scared of. Lots of folks running both the TF leveling kit and RC BB with no major issues.

I would say: Get a spacer kit, shock extensions or new longer shocks, and longer / adjustable sway bar links, and you will be good to go. If you can find a kit that has those three things together, and is in your price range, than so much better!

Like I said, I am running the RC kit with shock extensions, ran the stock sway bar links for a while (knew that they could be damaged, but ran them until I bent one ), then I upgraded to adjustable links. No problems now.

Thanks for the help Anthony. As you can tell I am very new to the Jeep thing, and I just want to make sure I dont jack anything up.
