I imagine that most people getting this kit would have the dealer install it, and wouldn't know anything about the bolts. But no, it is highly recommended (on this site anyway) that you do not install them. If the steering is too flighty, get a set of adj front control arms.
but with a 2" lift... any aftermarket adjustable front uppers are usually TOO LONG, when adjusted to the shortest they can go. (from what i hear).
i'm just curious why they would have cam bolts on a 2 inch lift...?

besides the track bar, what's so great about this kit. honestly what?

I know my 2" lift gave me 3 1/2. Does anyone have a 2" coil lift that actually gave 2 inches?
And even if it does only give 2, just add spacers until you can use an adj CA.

Just wanted to comment about your 2 inch lift.
Paying for the name (and the assumed warranty coverage?) As was mentioned earlier, you could get a better kit with adj arms, no cams, no relo's - for less.
Is this 'really' a 2 inch kit??

2 years later and lots of playing, I still am very happy with this lift. And even with all of the armor, bumpers and such my 2" is around 2.5" actual lift. I added a 1.25" body lift over that, and I'm soon going from factory 32" Willys/Rubicon tires to 37" STT Pro tires. She rides wonderfully, flexes very well and makes me very happy. I love her!

Honestly, I love them long time 
I have just over 12,000 miles on them and I'd guess that they are 75-80% remaining. They don't wear bad at all. They don't make much sound on the road, they don't cup, they are smooth on the roads and they stick to rocks very well. I've run them at 18 psi many times in the rocks of Rausch Creek and they have not chunked or cut in the tread area, the sidewalls have some gouges in the outer layer, but I had the dealership look at them (I paid $500 for the wheel and tire warranty) and they said that it was superficial damage to the outer rubber and does not need the tires replaced... yet. If they made these exact tires in a 37", I'd be ordering a set! I like the looks, ride, comfort, traction... everything about them. And I can totally believe the guys getting 50 and 60K miles out of them. At 12,000 miles I bet I have consumed 20% of the depth, that's it. But.... I am going to 37"x13.5"-18 Cooper STT Pro tires here in the next month or two. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with these BFG tires.
