Also, PSA: This kit is going to stretch your wheelbase if you're running a shorter lift, 4.5" or so, like I am. I got about 1.5-2" stretch with the arms as short as they can go. It was too much for my liking so now I'm waiting on shorter arms from Cavfab. They were awesome about it and said they'd ship me shorter stuff right away. I just hope this isn't a surprise to anyone else because I don't think I've seen anywhere that says it's going to stretch the wheelbase

I do feel you guys on the paint thing, but it coming bare metal isn't that bad. I feel like it's guaranteed to get scratched during the mock up. Just paint it your favorite flavor after you have everything ready for final install.

Kinda bummed about bare metal since last I heard they would at least come painted, would be awesome if they were powder coated. As long as the stretch isn't too much for my current front driveshaft I don't really care, but I guess we will see...

Still awaiting shipping confirmation. Also, sent a request to see if it would be possible to add on powder coating. Looks like their website will let you add this for $40.
