Like I said, I do have this lift on my 09 Unlimited. It's a quality lift, easy installation. The only downside is the cambolts. In my opinion, RE would be better off adding $200 to the cost and adding a set of adjustable front control arms. As someone already pointed out, they don't make adjustable lowers.

I think that's a big thing with alot of kit's. You really need at least adj frt lowers for castor.That way you have adjustability and less chance of an arm moving on you. Hell, my superlift came with cb's , threw them away and drove it like it was until I could afford new lowers. This thread kinda went off topic because of another thread where cb's were mentioned and harped on.

I also think RE builds good stuff, I ran the RE2inBB for several months, no issues and really good shocks.

Thanks for the reply's. Ok so seems to be a consensus for decent product but ditch the cam bolts for adjustable lower front control arms. Since RE doesn't make any -- whose got a decent set that would work and sale at different price. This kit also allows for an upgrade to the superflex in the future. Thoughts on that. Trying to not break the bank and looking for mild lift to run 35s and still improve the off road flex. Also, I have a rubicon so concerned if the kit works with(against) the sway bar disconnect.

I got the Rock Krawler bomb proof adjustable lowers. They are guaranteed against breakage.

I just put the superflex kit on last week and you will certianly need to address the front swaybar links. You might be able to make do with putting the stock rears on the front but that would still probably leave you with a sway bar that is below horizontal at ride height. The RE GenII front links can be configered with pins for disconnect or as solid links for ESB
