    Don't use that kit unless you like stuff made in China.
    Talk to Brian @ Front Range Off Road about a Diamond axle assembly.
    Once you are ready, talk the a 2nd Brian @ 4 Wheel Underground (4WU).

    That is what I would do... but wait, I did that and am glad I did. Best stuff on the planet.

    Hope this helps you.

    I agree with bullcrew, bang for the buck TG works fine. I have some of Brians (4wu) stuff as well, his stuff is nice.
    I have since went with TG 3 link, still works fine. Is all parts from TG the best? No, but for a kit form it works.
    Not trying to get in a pissing match over manufacturers, that's been done a hundred times already.

    If you are going leafs call Scottie at addicted offroad and ask about the spring hangar he used on the build Frenchy and see if sells it in kit form. Nice and low slung for leafs! He also sells tg stuff if you want to go that route. If you plan on building an axle look at ruffstuffs housing as well. Cheaper than a diamond but you need knuckle balls and parts off a donor axle to build it.
