Until they drop half-assed crap like brake line relocators and track bar drop brackets.. they will always be a bottom feeder. I'd say the same thing about Rusty's using the same stupid crap...

So then do you buy all your lift kits from?

track bar drop brackets are a really good idea at 6.5" assuming you get a drop pitman arm to go with it

Here's a write up: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/ro...65/#post382809

thats for the Full kit and not the LA upgrade, so it covers way more than you need to know

I left out a bit of my statement...

All track bar drops that still use the factory TRE style bars are crap.. It simply moves the weak point rather than fixing it.. ones that convert to a flex joint style are much better.

I generally don't use anyone's "kit".
For my Comanche project, I'll be using HellCreek Suspension's rear springs as he is the only one that produces an actual metric tonne lift spring. But I won't use his front stuff, because its off the shelf Rough Country. I will probably use Rubicon Express, as I have never had a bad experience with any of their parts and the availability of their stuff is excellent.
