Ya I've heard good things so I'm feeling good about it. I opted for the full leaf packs because my rear end is sagging really bad

Really enjoying looking at this man. I'm a college kid working on the same type of setup. What did you use to paint the rims and the trimming black?

thanks dude. I used Rustoleum High Performance Wheel Paint for the wheels and Rustoleum Plastic paint for the trim. Trim has held up really well and the wheels only have a few chips in it from kicked up rocks. Im pretty happy with the results.

Right on man, I just put on my 4.5" X series lift from them. Pretty damn complete kit... I'm happy. Good luck with your install, mine was A PITA thanks to having lots of bolts to remove

I literally used a John Deere frontloader tractor to get my rear leafs in...

I'm planning on getting the RC series II 3" lift with spring packs as well so looking forward to seeing the install. Post some pics of the install if you can. Oh, and the jeep is looking great so far!
