    In all our trail-testing of the Superlift kit, we've run it a number of ways. For many folks, the regular ol' shocks will do fine.

    That said, we've had the best luck with Bilsteins. Indeed, 4xGuard is working on distributing them for the express purpose of upgrading from the standard set-up. Just a thought.

    Strokez just had his superlift put on and the first few minutes offroad his superlink sway bar connection (longer than stock) broke off. Definitely a manufacturer defect. It came apart at the seams.....literally. We only articulated a bit wasn't even a bad spot. More like a pothole.

    Yep it was a bit disappointing. Going to contact superlift today to see if they will cover. Also experienced the same issue KMAX and a few others had with the rr wheels going forward into the fender flares. Needless to say I have to buy stock in those little plastic clips!!! All in all it was a great outing and lots of fun.

    Ran to the install shop during lunch and they agree that this was a part failure. They are contacting superlift to get two replacements FoC. Should be back to normal soon. The sway bar links they supplied are just pressed together. If they come like that the install shop will weld the ends to make sure this doesn't happen again. Would be nice if JKS or JeepinbyAl can come up with some adjustable quick connect links.....I know they are in the works, but shall see.

    Thats disappointing news especially for the price they charge for their lifts. I think El Cid is running BDS front and superlift Rear.
