Default Rock Krawler JK 3.5 X Factor Pro Mid Arm System

Anybody have any experience with this system?
It is a bit $$$, but it looks to be everything you would need.
I like the idea of the aluminum arms to save on the weight.
I don't mind spending the money to do something right the first time, but I don't seem to be able to find any info from users to hear about on road driveability and handling.
I have a '10 2 dr Rubicon and plan on running 35" BFG KM2's on the stock Moab wheels (with spacers)

Thanks in advance,
Jim

I have the mid arm kit and it performs great. Friend of mine has the x-factor kit and it's even better. Go for it.

Sir

That is one of our best selling kits we have. That system is extremely versatile.

One question. Do the aluminum parts have any coating to prevent oxidation?

I just got off the phone with David at Northridge - Ordered it

Now the wait is on....

I guess that will give me the time to figure out what I'm going to do about wheels/tires

Debating between putting 35" KM2's on my Rubicon wheels or going 315/75/16 on some 16x8.5 wheels from Discount Tire. For the difference in tire price and the cost of the Spidertrax spacers, new wheels with the right backspacing may be the way I go.
