I'm running the Rock Krawler 4.5 X Factor Plus Long Arm kit

I have it bump stopped for 35's but I'm positive 37's would even work.. I'm actually running 37x13x18's on the street.

Anymore detail on the procedures for doing this?? My rear lowers are rotten too far to allow for a cut and fold, so this is my next plan... Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Looks like it's performing pretty well! Front looks great. Rear needs some help though - it's not compressing very well. You could definitely benefit from some shackle relocation brackets - your shackle angle looks vertical or even forward some.

I have ones from HDOffroad Engineering - they're awesome. You could pretty easily fab some up though. They will allow you to angle the shackle backwards to the optimal 45° angle for max spring performance and a cushy ride. Basically allows you multiple mounting holes to move the shackle.

Actually he's offering a deal right now on the new low profile ones - You buy for normal price, then get $50 back if you post a writeup/review to two websites.

I did this when he first came out with these - here's the writeup I did. Pretty easy just take pictures while installing.
