Thanks for the responses gentlemen. I'm thinking of Rusty's T-case skid and a set of Bilsteen 5100's.

I'm going to install HD's stiffeners before any long arm, I'm just learning to weld so I thought that would be a good place to start.

Still would like to know on road characteristics, any dive or pull during braking? Is the setup good for a Daily Driver?

My jeep is my daily driver at 6" of lift it drives great has very slight bump steer nothing to do with 3-link. my 15 year old daughter is just learning to drive with it so that tells you everything about road characteristics.....I wouldn't let my baby girl drive something unsafe or tricky

That's the only think keeping me from getting this kit. I'd like a nice t-case skid and a little coverage for the transmission.

The cross member design leaves plenty of options to have a skid added.

Oh for sure it does. And when I get motivated enough I'll start making one, unless he designs a bolt on one by then haha.

thanks guys, good to hear. Love that this kit is usable with a 3inch lift.. Was debating Claytons but 'requiring' 6.5 isn't even close to my build plans.
