It was firm but not harsh. A nice rig. Been driving it now for four years and no real settling. There were brake line drops and transfer case drop but didn't use any of them because I went with an SYE and aftermarket brake hoses.

Lots of good things have been said about the re track bar. That's what I would get

Several cans of PB Blaster, Breaker Bar, and Cheater Bar. Also, highly recommend buying new bolts because you might brake a few, especially the rear shock bolts.

Is there a kit of all new bolts?
