There are a few people running this. Several just installed it. Prime8 comes to mind. I think DChew is running the high clearance kit.

I'd like to know the answer as well. Actually I would like to know what is the best route to go if you plan to eventually run 1) DTD/EVO Lever or 2) bolt-on coil overs.

Sorry if that is a hijack.

Not at all man I'm with you I'm in the same boat I remember Eddie telling me a while back that if u go with this kit u won't end up double purchasing parts u later don't need if I'm correct. Maybe he will chime in at some point. Just looking to see some pics of rigs running this cause I'm getting close to placing my order.

It's the same kit as the high clearance long arm, the ONLY difference is the rear high clearance brackets.

You must run coilovers with the high clearance kit..

Hope this answers you're question. You can always buy the double d then buy the high clearance brackets at a later time

You can do it this way, it would be cheaper in the long run just to buy the coilovers now along with the long arm upgrade kit rather than the full double D kit then buy the coilovers

You'll love it, rides and drives way better than stock on and off road. I was thinking of doing coil overs later down the road but so far Im happy keeping it as is.

That's exactly what I'm planning , if I decide to go with coil overs later on I can and won't have to take off the whole lift just coils and shocks

Any problems that you ran across while installing lift that I should know about before I order because every lift has one or two parts to it that make you wonder why you didn't just pay someone else to do it lol but I love being able to say everything on my jeep I installed !! That's just me though.

I had Northridge do my install since I don't weld, so if your ok with cutting off the stock brackets and welding on the new then you should be ok. I have a 2012 so I also did the front driveshaft also.

I'm ok with cutting and my buddy is a licensed welder but from what I've read about the lift you don't have to weld anything if you don't want to am I wrong on this ?
