I wouldn't hesitate to buy a kit from them if I had the money

I placed my order. Hope all goes well. Would you guys recommend looking into drop brackets at 3.5", or should I just use the stock bracket and see how it goes?

If the radius longarm kits freak you out then I'd go with a 3-link for flex. I helped my buddy install a Clayton 3-link and it's pretty good, flexy.

Hi, I'm running a 3.5 inch RE lift with a inch transfer case lowering kit. I want to get rid of the lowering kit and put in SYE and CV drive shaft. I'm looking at getting the Rough Country NP231 slip yoke eliminator but I do not know what length the rear drive shaft needs to be. Can someone help me out with what length I need?

Thank You

In this case, it's a wash. Most SYEs are the same
