i had to remove the wheel well liner. the body pinch weld is the biggest issue im having. i still have to trim more. im hoping the body lift will help reduce part of the trimming that is needed.

Customer service is horrific. Product is very nicely built. If you're a mall crawler, then it's fine as is. It offers no additional travel nor stiffness or any performance other than clearance on it's own. It's basically a body lift for the suspension. All it does is add room for larger tires.

I opted to make it better than that. Went with the HD springs with the PRG shocks out back coupled with the PRG extended coilovers w/external reservoir in front to get rid of that stupid spacer on top of where the stock strut goes and also went with the PRG UCA's.

so sas would be the better bet for a real off roader. the r51 doesnt lend itself to serious offroading. the wd21 is better suited for it. i only plan on using mine for minor to moderate offroading.
