Not too much more to say at the moment.

Changed to bfg 37's, and they do not clear the glassworks +2 fender liners on full compression. So need to re glass the liners for clearance.

Been on a couple runs with it now, and it doesn't make a huge difference in the small to medium stuff, but in the big stuff you can run a 3.0 equipped truck down pretty quickly.
Ride is similar to bottom perch on road.
Durability has been excellent, no failures of any kind. Had an issue with not having the inner uca bolts tight enough/misalignments shimmed tight enough, but that was simple enough to sort out.

Still juggling around on what to do with the rear, but I can solidly say that knowing what I do now, this kit should have been the very first modification to the truck. Money well spent.

Thanks for the feedback, ntm. Rather than piecing together the front suspension one component at a time and playing catch-up to a weak link, I'm considering just going for this kit all at once too.

Exactly, cheaper to do it right the first time. And you end up with more performance capability and durability in the end.

Have you considered a cantilever ford raptor setup for the rear?

Yeah, it's a possibility.
Waiting to see the rogue sprung under setup, and it's price point.

What are your thoughts on the Brenthel rear setup? Other than loss of bed space is there anything else would keep you from going with it?

This kit seems like quit a deal when compared to the other dual shock setups. Like you said might as well get extra travel out of it for the same price.

The brenthel rear kit doesn't use any bed space.
It's a sprung under with slightly extended rear shock mounts, using a 12" stroke 3.0 bypass. Also has bumps.
It's a good option for retaining bed space.
I'm looking for a little more since I'm already running +3 nationals, RPG bumps, and icon 3.0's. The icons are just over an 11" stroke.
I like everything about the brenthel kit except I'd rather have a little more shock, like a 3.5 or 4" with a 16-18" stroke running through the bed to a bed cage.

I called for a quote today. Didn't get a reply.
Looking for a sprung under with shocks and brace/bumps.
