The issue you will run into with any basic/econo lift is that there is no way to adjust your caster.
Read the "Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?" section of the Suspension faq's for more info.

Here is another thread concerning caster issues with that particular lift.

Anyway, yes the price is attractive. Yes, it is good quality. Just be aware that it is not 'complete', and you will most likely want to add more components.
When you have time, I would also suggest reading the "Q: Are new driveshafts needed after installing a lift?" section of the Drivetrain/etc FAQ, just so you aren't surprised down the road.

its a basic kit like every company sells, but you really do need some control arms to fix the caster issues.

Thanks for all the info. I figured it was a save now pay later kind of situation. When the time comes I'd rather spend a little more up front than have to upgrade later.

I BOUGHT THE ECON KIT BECAUSE THE PRICE WAS RIGHT AND YOU CAN ALWAYS BUY THE CONTROL ARMS LATER, I DO LIKE IT BUT THE CONTROL ARMS WOULD BE A LOT NICER. THEY JUST CAME OUT WITH AND UPGRADE FOR THE 3-4 INCH LIFT IT UPGRADES YOU TO THE LONG ARM KIT FOR $1900.00
