That may be true but I would much rather run a more complete, better quality, and longer lasting kit any day of the week.

I checked out the link, and have to say that I am less than impressed with their selection. I thought they made more stuff for us XJers than that!! RE has a far better range of kits, from entry level to hard core!!

Not things I have to guess if I have all the seperate components required to get the thing up into the air.

So far i have no complaints on my Rusty's 3" lift. In fact i just ordered front and rear trailer hitches from him. not here yet, but im sure they will be fine, rated stronger @ 5000lbs than more expensive hitches @ 3500lbs and they are powder coated as well, so they won't rust as fast or at all. And like he says on the web site, if theres a problem with their parts to please call them up and talk to them and they will try to fix the problem.

It should say "please TRY to call.....". They wouldn't even let me say hello before hanging up. So i'm stuck with a product that doesn't work and a manufacturer that won't fix it.

I think if you are going to use your hitches as recovery points then that is fine but as a trailer towing method, well maybe not the best idea.
