People that have it say they love it. People that don't say its **** and will break cause the 10mm bolt holding the only UCA on the axle. Many a argument have occured over that kit on this forum.

There are much better upgrade kits for the money. That cam adjust =fail.
I would consider something that uses one of 2 things. 1) brackets that do not interfere with the crossmember. 2) A kit with a removable center section for the crossmember.
Small list of options to consider.
Dirtbound mid-arm kit
Clayton longarm upgrade (y-link or 3-link)
BDS upgrade
Full traction

As others have said, those people who run their stuff (me included) love it and have very little complaints. Those who have not have 10,000 things they hate about it.

this. for the price this is a great kit. at some point i will be running it myself. i have read a lot of reviews on it. everyone whodoe run it has very little complaints with very few who don't like it.

a lot of people who have neve run it talk crap with no credibility.
