Some members on here have issues with them, and don't like their customer support. But that's what i hear on CF.

I think they are pretty good, but there are a lot of other similar kits from other companies out there, I'd look around to see what your options are. And maybe wait to see what your cousin thinks of it after some trail time.

Ran rustys lift for 2 years with decent bit of wheeling...never broke a thing. I am a rustys fan...actually running rustys leafs and Rubicon express stuff now. If you want look at my build thread for my pieced together lift. Look at serious offroad for killer prices on re stuff.
