Hey man that's the kit that I have. So far i like it alot. The front is alot softer than the rear is my only beef with it. I used the stock shackles even tho the angle isn't bad. It just doesn't ride as smooth. Since initial install. I've upgraded to swaybar discos and a rough country double sheer track bar. I'm in need of a hack n tap soon cuz the t-case drop with a 4.5" lift is pushing it. But overall nice kit.

Only suggestion is get 3.5" leafs and 1" shackles. Softer and better flec

Side note. I'll be up there this weekend. Free on Sunday might try to wheel. Either at my uncles farm or prospect or something.

i like rustys coils a lot, but i don't like their rear springs, nor the bushings in them. many people complained about the track bars there too, but not sure if that's changed.

and x2, the flatter the leafs, the softer the ride and flexier.
