Tony,
I've been looking at the same type kit. Did you get the "premium kit" or the regular one? How much did it set you back, including installation. And did you have just a regular body shop install it, or did you do it yourself? There's a dealer in my area with a deal on the Rusty's 3.25" lift/suspension, for a hell of alot less, and I'm trying to compare the two. Any word from AEV on the "wandering?" Thanks!

Yes. My caster was at 4.2 but the steering was to flighty, so I adjusted it to 5.0 and now 6.0. The JKS control arms make it easy to adjust you just take it off on the axle end, spin to where you want it then use a floor jack to line up the holes.

Tony:
which control arms did you replace?
What type of servicing do the JKS arms require? They appear to have OEM rubber bushings but there's a zerk fitting on the arm.
I've thought of going this exact route... I'm very impressed with AEV's stuff. How difficult was the installation?
Thanks,
Rob

Another note is that I noticed that the front axle has shifted 1/2 more to the driver side. I'm going to order the JKS track bar and give AEV a call about it. I thought I could just use the stock track bar with the bracket. So far I'm happy with it. I did not get a chance to take it off road yet but it rides nice on the road.
