Are you stock mounts not hitting?? The PO of my jeep did a super hack job cuting the old mounts off of my jeep, and my lowers have a nice little rash were the remnants of the old mount hit it.

How does it ride on the Hwy? How about bombing down a rough city road? How difficult was the install? Any tips?

mine rides good, a lot of vibes and wobbles i had went away. the install pretty straight forward, you have to drill and tap the existing nutserts for the stock cross member out to 1/2-13, not really hard but they dont mention this fact at all nor do they provide install instructions. they are aware of this tho and are working on it.

all in all im happy with this kit and would buy it again

Thanks for the heads up! I'll go ahead and get a drill and tap for that before mine gets here.

Install was pretty easy hardest pArt was trying to line cross member up to start off straight so both lowers are equal lengths for sum reason my tranny mount with the 4 holes didn't line up so I had to push whole mount to drivers side 3/4" of an inch no big deal then drill n tap I even drilled n tapped extra hole for more strength???? Drives great I went to high around 6" and installed the b lee heavy duty cross over steering that made a huge difference. Still working out a few kinks with lift but long arm is a flexing machine and no death wobbles so all is good. Also make sure to install frame stifeners gives u a lot more metal to two to

The cross member just bolts to the original holes that have been re-tapped, right?
