So I picked this up today from dealer. Nice crate. Can't wait to see what's inside.

I'll post pics and details as I proceed with install if anyone is curious.

Not installing cam bolts. Going for new rancho or aev drop brackets if needed to correct caster.

Anyone else on here running this kit?
Guys at jeep said it's covered under Warrenty if they install. Well since I'm installing it myself guess I'm on my own. Haha.

Not sure if that came with front lower control arms but the best way to fix the caster would be adjustable front LCAs

Shocks apparently specifically valved and tuned to the springs in this kit.

Doing drop brackets works but costs you ground clearence. Check out EVO's adjustable front LCA's. I would say theyre some of the best on the market. Super tough and has flexibly johnny joints on either end.

Notice the zirk nipple and balance weights on shaft? Is this common on other shafts? Shaft labled "spicer dana automotive systems group".

Trackbar bracket? Is this ok or would adjustable rear trackbar be better?

And finally longer rear sway bar links . 12.5 inches long vs stock 10.5 inches long. Instructions call for rears to be moved tonthe front. I will be using jks adjustable quicker disconnects.
