my cousin has the same set up and his has been on all summer/fall and so far this winter, he had to replace the front U joints but he has had no problems, and we did not use the tcase drop

if you run 32's you will need to trim the front bumper and a small bit on the back side of the fender, i would also suggest rolling the lip on your rear fenders

we put it on but i dont think youll need it, just get an alignment asap

also i would get the steering stabilizer because it wanders everywhere lol and i would get an ajustable track rod because the drop bracket for the track rod is a POS. the bolt would always break and you would get death wobble, so those are the 2 things i would be sure to do

have fun doing the rear upper controll arm bracket lol (only room for open end wrench with 1/4 turns lol
