Unsubscribed...I was interested in the Double D. :grayno::cheesy:
OP: I do not have this system but can give you a little bit of "first hand" knowledge. I had the opportunity to ride in GCM2's ride recently on JKX. I have to say there really is no comparison between the DTD system and a traditional coil/shock system. I have a pretty decent setup on my 2012 (EVO coils and King reservoir shocks) and could not even come close to the speeds we were able to reach in the EVO jeep. It just ate up the bumps! I also drove next to Moby on a few passes and once we hit the whoop section, all I saw was tail lights and a 40" mud grappler hanging on the back (with my 2012, it sure wasn't the engine holding me back). In fact, I was bottoming out my bump stops constantly while trying to push my jeep as fast as I could.

My bad. I guess I got distracted by the Double D.
BTW, have you heard how good the DTD system is...? :cheesy:

Wow with the way this tread has gone i'm really confused lol:hmm:
Edit: DTD would be nice but with a D30 and 35's at this point in time its seems a bit over kill. Mainly I want a smoother ride on and off road. The budget lift and shocks i have now just beat the crap out of me and my jeep if i try to take rough trails at any speed.

Thats what i was kinda thinking as well i dont have a ton of cash right now. A new suspension is a couple months away for now i'm happy with the flex i get on the trails we have around here. Mostly just wanting a smoother ride. Was thinking of maybe doing the bolt on coils in stages. I'm curious though how long the stock bushings will hold out from the extra flex. Taking into account 85-90 percent of my driving is on pavement or blm roads with some flexy trails every now and then.

I have it
I have the double-d long arm lift. Been running it for about a year and a half. It's an awesome kit all the way around. The plush coils offer a very smooth ride. Bracketry and control arms are top notch, high quality craftsmanship for sure. The flex you get with this kit is really nice and allows for excellent articulation on ledges and whatnot, if you're into rock crawling. I'm running it with 35s and no rubbing on full flex. PM me if you have questions about this kit.
