anyone run the black diamond 3" kit?

I have it and I am very happy. Me and a friend installed it in just over 3 hours. The only issue I ran into at all was the bolt holes on the brake line brackets were a little off but that was easy to remedy. It looks and drives great. I would highly recommend this kit.

I've had mine on my 4 door Rubi about a month now. I've used RE, OME, and FT kits on my past TJs and LJ. This is the best ride yet.
I talked to the SuperLift folks asking their advise for a kit that could handle washboard dirt and rock roads without beating you to death unlike all my previous kits. They recommended the 3" with the standard hydro shock. All my previous ones had been gas charged. Well I just got back from almost 1000 miles in less than 3 days including a lot of the washboard roads. The Jeep was outstanding.
The quality off the kit was very good, no issues at all. Although the bump stops looked great, I prefer the type used by RE and FT and installed the FT ones for the JK instead of the Black Diamond. For a Rubi the BD sway bar link solution is the best. And for the price, no one else comes close.

Probably because the 3" is more popular. When you get into the 4" plus lifts, you have to start looking at other drivetrain mods like longer shafts.

ya, I was wanting a 3" to avoid drive line issues. My jk is a 2 door. There is a video on there site, shows the kit installed, but its a 4 door, which I know has longer drive shifts.
Still like to know more about the compression stops and why del4s prefers the ft's over it??
IF any of you can post a pic that be great!
