i have no experience with that kit, but your probably gonna have to cut off the lca mounts. otherwise, the arms shouldnt hit the frame.

Can i ask why you would take those kits? they are smaller and the Rock Krawler is the same price as the 8 inch? I was checkin out the rock Krawler site i kinda like that rear coil over conversion might think about doing that haha. What ya think?

TNT has the nasty good bellypan, full traction has arguably the best geometry of any bolt on kit, and also has a bellypan you can get, and rock krawler's stuff is beef as hell and works great. 8" is pretty tall.. even guys running jeepspeed dont go much higher than 6 or 7 in 3700.

If it is not having sufficient room to travel longer arm, then don't choose it, but if is have such space at the travel area, then it will be better as the steering load will decrease obviously.

Another vote for Full Traction... I have installed two so far, one on an XJ and one on a TJ, both are VERY well built, handle really well on the street, and are VERY well thought out.
The TJ has over 80K miles, and has only needed a track bar bushing replaced, and the lower control arm heims.
The XJ has multiple wheeling trips, and two flops... still runs straight down the highway.
