its about 150 bucks cheaper on their website, but be prepared to pay a couple hundred in shipping. thats what it was going to be for me atleast. I would have liked to get on cuz ive heard nothing but good things but the shipping kinda put it out my budget

I edited it because I told you to try IRO then seen its the same kit. I will be ordering their 6.5 LA kit. The one on the site you listed comes with disco's thats why its a bit more.

Agreed - it comes with JKS quick disconnects, drop track bar bracket and track bar, drop pitman, great crossmember setup, shocks...and they recently started making a 3-link in the "pro series" section. If it had been out a few years ago when I was buying, I would totally do it

I have the kit in the link above and have no complaints - it is rock solid.
