I saw one kit so far in person. The guy said his was the jeep that they did the install on for one of the 4wd magazines. He had added two leaves to the rear pack. One above and one below the main leaf. This was almost a year ago now sence I have seen it. I dont think it was flexing as well as a half way decent setup spring over would have.

I ran one from the time they were released till about 6 months ago...it did really well...the first summer I had it on I pushed it hard every weekend(not exagerating either;) ) even till the day I took it off I could still fit 35s with TJ flares and no rubbing at all...if I were to do it again...well I wouldn't, I would save the $1200 that I spent on it and go SOA and buy many beers:beer: for all my buddies:D:D:D

its not worth the $1200 for someone that feels comfortable about being creative or fabbing stuff yourself...now for someone that is afraid to take the tires off by themselves it might be an ok way to get 5-6" of suspension lift and still remain SUA(but I would go RE4.5" extreme before this kit)

now I am going SOA with a totally custom setup...stretching the wheelbase some and nothing is going to resemble the same Jeep I once had:D:D:D

I have heard of a lot of people bending their front leaves although I never had this problem...it might be a fun kit to try something creative with but only if you get it for free or REAL cheap...
