Idk. That's still not enough suspension parts for me to be interested in buying it even as a starter kit
I'd rather buy a used kit off NAXJA. Or save up and piece together a nicer one
It's just not worth $500. I got my RE 4.5" for $400. There are better ways to put together a suspension than buying a kit
It just takes some research

there are cheaper and better ways than buying an entry level kit
if you gotta buy a kit then I guess buy one. but if you ever decide to go bigger you'll need new shocks immediately
so you're basically paying $500 for leafs and coils
I'd rather buy 4.5" RE coils from seriousoffroad for $68
then 2 OME 3.5" leaf packs for $270 and get a shackle for $70
then get a set of shocks and a tcase drop and a track bar and some LCA's
IDK man buying that rustys kit just seems like a waste of time and effort to me

It's all bolts... You could do the **** by hand with a couple buddies one day
If you can install new leaf packs and coils you can figure everything else out
If you're not going to ever do any off roading then I'd say it's a good kit. But if you want to take it out and play with it or go bigger in the future it's a waste of money if you asked me because you have to throw out the shocks
