This lift was on my list when I was looking. What I did not like was that you could not buy the other control arms. So I looked at the the sport kit and was going to buy all of the arms.

Like you I just could not find a lot of information on this kit. It looks really nice though. I talked to the owner of spiderweb shades he has the rancho stuff and really likes it. After my research I eventually decided only Rockcrawler x factor lift. When I did my math it was just more bang for the buck for me. Again I liked the look of the Rancho... Hope you get more information than I could.

Nice kit.. I would add a raised rear track bar bracket.
The uppers arms set caster in the front and pinion in the rear.
Are the coils 2 door specific ?
My only worry would be height.

He can buy the kit without arms but front drop brackets.
Then add rear uppers for pinion later
I run the Rancho drop brackets and ride/handling is improved big time.

Do you wheel hard where clearance is a big concern ?
You can run the front brackets that drop both CA's. Ride is greatly improved.

With all of the arms I think you'll be very happy. It looks like a great lift. Congrats.
