With the RS 9000 adjustable shocks... If so how do you like it? How's it handle and how's the ride?

It's not the trail system, but I have their 3" sport lift with the 9000xl shocks.I believe the difference in the two kits is the adjustable control arms. I'm loving the lift so far. It's been a while since I've been stock so I can't remember how it is vs. the stock ride, but I don't have any complaints with comfort (I've had a few friends comment about how impressed they were with ride quality). My jeep handles surprisingly well, with very little body roll in corners. My only complaint is that the jeep gets a little flighty over 70mph, but I think that's more related to my stock control arms and the wider tires.

I know it's not the exact same as the trail kit you're looking at, but I hope that helps you out some!

There is a guy on here (keithvegas or keithinvegas) that did a really good review on this system when he got it a couple of years ago.
He has wheeled pretty hard on it and liked it.
I haven't heard from in a while though.

How mechanical are you? And was it hard to get adjusted to right setting? I'm a little worried thst if i got this and adjust wrong that I can mess up my drive shaft or transfer case..

I can hold my own mechanically, but due to time restrictions with work, I had to have mine installed. I cannot answer how hard it is to get them adjust correctly initially. I know that after you need to make sure all is tight, and stays that way. This can cause al kinds of issues.
