I wont. because you shouldnt be buying the cheapest kit. You should be buying the good kit.

Look into Rubicon Express and BDS

Gas shocks are terrible. Hydro shocks are at their best right now, gas still needs improvement.

Ever since gas shocks have become major production, Monroe has been testing and improving. Gas shocks leak easier, I can bang the crap out of my bds5500 hydros. I have had multiple nitros and nothing but leaks even with the smallest dent the gas leaks passed the urethane orings.

I notice that these kits don't come with a case drop kit. You will need one of those. Well, most people end up needing it after going 3" or larger.

Just a heads up.

accually the "cheap" lifts are more expensive than the quality more expensive lifts because you are gonna end up replacing everything any ways. save up buy a quality lift. i hate it when ppl just lift it cheaply and then complain that everything breaks... duh u spent 300 bucks on a 8 inch lift, what do u expect. plain and simple you get what u pay for. cheap cost= cheap lift.
