Their game changer suspension system is interesting, but not enough people running it to get much feedback from. I will say that I have not once heard anyone complaining about the kit...
Ummm, maybe that's because there aren't enough people running their stuff.
Well of course you have. People who spend that kind of money on a kit would never talk smack about what they just bought as that would put their manhood into question.

I have heard a couple people on here say that the Game Changer actually isnt that good. There werent much for specifics so I cant help you out. Let me see if I can find the posts.

I have heard people having doubt in it, but no one with first hand experience actually explain why it isnt a good system. There's a guy from oceanside running the kit and raves about it. He even sold his currie control arms for the Metal Cloak arms and states he is happy he did. We all know JJ's are amazing and no one in their right mind will be able to successfully debate them being an inferior product. BUT either this guy(and a few others that I havent spoke to other than reading their posts) is happy and has had a good experience OR he is saying its good to justify his purchase
I don't know if I've ever heard anyone say they weren't "good" but, for the price and for what you get, I just don't know if it's worth it. Control arms are probably fine but I would have to say that the jury is out on their joints. Time will tell if they really are up to snuff but, I wouldn't be trading in my Johnny Joints for them until there have been a lot more testing of them. Dual rate coils are dual rate coils and from experience, I am no fan of them. Last but not least, their shock system is essentially two shocks strapped together and is gimmicky at best and for the price, not something I would entertain when I could just as easily get much better coil overs. But hey, that's just me.
Not much info out there, and I too would like to hear from some people on here with more first hand experience thats been running this for a while.
:cheesy: For a guy who has no personal experience with their stuff, you sure do have a lot to say about the things you've "heard".
Hmm. I just checked out their site and watched their video. The price is kinda steep, but hell, it looks like a really nice kit. I loved the high speed quickie at the end of the video. Personally, I would run it if I had the money for it. Got some pretty mad flex too, kind of insane out of a 3.5" lift.
You're right, the price is steep and for what get, I would recommend that you look at a good coil over kit instead. I think I know of a video or two that will show you how well they work too.
Yeah the info, submitted by them, is pretty impressive. My only concern is how a rubber/poly/whatever bushing could hold up to prolonged flex and stress on that joint. Its rebuildable which is great, but at 30 per joint(total of 16 on the jeep) to rebuild it isnt cheap. If they last a long time thats one thing, but if they are needing replaced every other year or worse yearly, then that gets EXPENSIVE! Johnny Joints usually only need the poly bushing replaced($10/joint).
I'm with you on this. Johnny Joints are tough, proven and not that bad to rebuild.
