I have it. Installation was a breeze parts look good to. I recommend thinking about what you plan to do in the lomg run. I have had it on for about 45 days. I just added a heavy duty bumper and winch. Just came back in from first drive and the nose seems to dive during breaking with the extra weight. Not a leveling kit issue just an issue with stock springs. In hindsight I would have gone with one of their coil lifts. To correct this I can add their 2.5" coils for abour another 240$. But if you ar going to keep it fairly stock then they are perfect. Here is a before and after shot. Click image for larger version

I doubt you will get many Bad or Ugly comments. TeraFlex has great products and even better customer service!!

Installation is pretty easy and if something is missing or wrong with your kit they will make it right ASAP!!

Here is a poser shot of mine sitting on 33's with leveling kit.

I'm thinking of the leveling kit as well but when I weighed out the bumpers and rock rails I am thinking of getting it came to something like 400+lbs! Pretty sure that might drag down any gains I get out of the kit...Here's to hoping I'm wrong...

I had it installed prior to my 3.5" lift...only had it in less than 6months and wanted to go bigger. Nice little set up and that's exactly what it is......little.

It's really a leveling kit not really a lift. It's supposed to be "little"

I don't have any issues in my front OR rear brake lines. BTW it is a 2011.
