so assuming this set up will allow faster speeds off road please explain the advantages of cantilever over stock shock location

Cantilever allows more axle travel with the same length shocks. I believe there is also a benefit of effectively less unsprung weight.

GREAT QUESTION.
We have not seen any wear on "Rod Guides" due to the weight of the shocks being mounted horizontally. no leaking seals. Yes there are more moving parts, but the shocks are now mounted up high and tight to reduce rock chips and dents.

One of the biggest design requirements of this kit was to keep the installation very simple. On the other kits, you will have to cut out all of the cross bracing on the frame. Our kit 100% bolts onto the frame. you will need to weld on link mounts to the rear axle housing.

IF you want, you can keep the stock shock mounts.. So you can return to stock when you sell the truck.

Thanks for above info I love the fact that this kit is 100% bolt on.
Ill definitely let you know when I am ready for this kit probably next week.

I would really appreciate an installation guide or pictures with the kit.

@Rednose I don’t know if anyone that never loved their Rogue suspension and how they performed. Rogue nailed it on the design and function of those kits. Rogue went out of business because of money and lack of customer service—it wasn’t because their stuff didn’t perform.

Very true I really liked the Rouge's video, I wish you install the kit before me so I could get your feedback.

How would this setup do with towing (wakeboard boat) - or can it be set up to tow when I'm towing? Right now I have Deavers and SVC adjustable perch with King bumpstops.

Any chance you'll be offering something similar for those of us in Gen 1's? Looks like a great product.

On a separate note, it looks like the Bolt suspension pushes the wheels out 3" further than stock. As this cantilever product appears intended to run with the Bolt, and does not seem to impact wheel location, do people just run with the front tires sticking out further than the rears? Seems weird, but I'm no expert.

why do you think the wheels are pushed out 3 inches further than stock with this setup?

Oh, is that wrong? My apologies. I was just reading through the Bolt description and it mentioned 3 inches longer control arms and tie rods. I thought that would mean it pushed the wheels out 3 inches further.
