It is a good and BEEFY kit....you will not be disappointed.
When did you order, and did you have any trouble? I was researching RR for MJ lifts (they're one of the few that list them), and I never came across a positive review of that company from the last two years.

This was about 4 years ago...so I cannot speak to their current level of service. I had no problem at the time.

But I LOVED the BPE's and Shackles....pure beef.

Does look like their service sucks...the owner is not making friends on the internet...that's for sure...

Well..I recommend the parts...but apparently the company sucks.

Yes. You install it with a new leaf pin so it is part of the leaf pack.

Normally not a fan of the block...so .5" is the most I will ever run. Reason I liked it...7" long and helped with axle wrap on stock perches.

Let me know how it is. How long to receive order confirmation, shipping confirmation, tracking number, customer service, all that jazz. I'd order MJ stuff from them if their reviews weren't so bad.

You get what you pay for with shocks. I get the cheapest I can find cause I don't care about my ride quality. Old Man Emu are some of the best.
