For the guys that installed this kit did you use the cam bolts?
I had the suspension installed (I was a newbie at the time) and they installed the bolts. I wish they had not. See my post above.

Yeah, thanks for the advice on the cam bolts. I have read and learned enough about these so far to know I need control arms. But the guy trying to sell me this kit was trying to tell me I didn't need them.


I work on cars for a living,but we are all about LCG and all we do is turn left..... So I feel I have a pretty good idea of what seems like junk and what has some R&D in it. I'm kinda new to this off-roading, just trying to figure out who has trouble with what brands and what to stay away from. There are so many out there. Thanks again

I think they have the cam bolts so they can try to sell the suspension without adjustable control arms. Brings the whole price of the suspension down, right?

Anyhow, it's a good package and offers basically the same stuff as other suspensions costing a couple hundred more. I'd spend the extra money and get the heavier duty shocks if you have a JKU.

4" long arm great ride on and off. Better then stock. Great articulation. Cheaper then some of the big name lifts but works as good

I'm running a BDS 2" coil lift, and so far it's been great.
