that is awesome info on the factory lift. but one thing i did notice, after all the problems with the track bar extentions on the axle flexing off, manufactures are still producing them..wtf... but still that hatch back hard top is a must have.

hey since mopar is going to use the re long arm kit, would that make the lift from re covered as well under warranty, seems like it would be a cheaper going through them insted of the mark up on the mopar part number? either way that is awesome, I may have to wait and see when this is released and at what price point before I decide, good news! and keep the camera rolling. we need more pics.

Today is the big day so I've only got a few minutes here. Just to answer a few questions, without a doubt, the cost of this kit won't be any cheaper than what it would cost to get it directly from Rubicon Express - just look at the repackaged WARN winches they sell now as a guide. As far as when they will have it available, I am told it will just be a matter of weeks and products such as cold air intake system (77060021), performance axle assembiles (front Dana 44 w/lockers and 4.10's - P5153825, rear Dana 44 w/lockers and 4.10's - P5153826) are available now and a low range upgrade kit should be out soon.

I totally agree - I can't imagine that they'd be willing to warranty the kit if they let you install it yourself (because of user errors, etc.). I'm very curious as to price... just came into a small inheritance ( / ), and would consider it if it's not a bank-buster...
