IMO For a bolt on kit this is the only way to go. If you dont mind the welding, go with Claytons

When I was doing some reasearch awhile back I was looking at Rock Krawler and RE.

So with this kit I can just upgrade my skyjacker lift? It seem too inexpensive. Is it too good to be true?

I like the setup where the upper control arm comes off of the lower arm Im guessing this is the y setup. Which ever setup is more sutable for an 8 in plus lift
Welding isnt an issue but ive heard that welding to our loved vehicles isnt the best idea such as welds cracking the unibody rails.

TNT Customs is completely bolt on and I know it has a good rep. Me if I go long arm I want bolt on and not something I have to weld.

BDS is the only true 4 link set up but im too lazy to google it for the price right now. From what i hear its good stuff but unless youre doing supercore wheelin on 40's or something any radius arm setup mentioned above will do the job. If you wanna find more info on it look up MuddyPaws on Pirate4x4. Its what he used in his build. honestly, way too much droop for me. I dont want my springs fallin out
