I just bought their long arm upgrade. Reusing my 4.5" springs. Also picked up the adjustable trackbar and HD tie rod. Any specific reason you are looking to go that big??

The caster adjuster is junk as in a weak point, or that it doesn't adjust well?

that caster angle adjuster looks like it may be weak in pics. But when the box showed up and I actually had it in my hand and got it put it together, that thing isn't flimsy at all. It's rock solid. And mine sees daily highway use and weekend bashing over rocks, creeks, downed trees, all the good stuff. It's solid.
