As far as 3 link kits go, for the price,there is no comparison. 3 links for the xj are pretty sparce especially a purely bolt on, Claytons is nice but more $$ and requires welding. The RK kit is nice but doesn't use a full cross member and also "requires" welding.

With this kit, it's Completely 100% bolt on but does require drilling and tapping you existing x-member mounts to 1/2-13. it rides fantastic even with out the sway bar.

Cons:
the paint job is kind of sub par. My kit had some splotchy area (not a big deal dice it's just a rattle can job that is easily touched up,which I'm sure was the point)
-there's no notch for the down pipe In the crossmember. Maybe this isn't an issue for most but my down pipevery makes contact with the crossmember and makes a lot of noise
-did not come with install instructions or any torque spects. This was very annoying during the install. Luckily I'm competent enough to know more or less what needs to be done.

All that aside I would buy and install this kit again. I have been very impressed with my ride quality even tho I was very sceptical of the hems and poly bushings (most because I prefer rebuildable JJ's)

I hope this helps every one out

It's surprisingly difficult to get honest feedback, even from several local guys who are running this kit and whom I wheel with regularly. Besides "I really like it", which doesn't really help me make a better product, so thank you!

I'm working on an installation document as we speak, mainly to put in order the assembly/removal steps to be most efficient.

I do believe that we will be including the drill & tap as well, as that's a common question we get from customers who call the shop - "What size do I need to buy?" Easy fix.

Thanks again for your feedback buddy. If you have a pic of your Jeep with the kit installed I'd love to share it and your review on out Facebook page!

Also when I placed the order over the phone you said you were including the drill and tap too I was hoping to get that sent as my kit didn't have it.

Thank you!
