    what do you want to know? its a good all around kit, only quality stuff comes from TC, it wont soak up whoops like the lt kit does but it will scoot you around alot more comfy than just a upper arm and coilover. Plus the increase in trackwidth is always nice, it will be a little more stable offroad.

    welcome to squeeky truck central! kits with the uniballs instead of bushings in the LCA mounts are the loudest fucking kits ive ever heard on a daily driven vehicle.

    Never been in a 3.5" over truck, but I will say my 2" AP kit is night and day from C/O's and a UCA. I need to get some air bumps in there to handle jumps but otherwise it way outperforms my SOA rear - which will be SUA when I get back home.

    ...too much shit to list.
    I dunno why you guys have squeek problems. :notsure:
    When I installed my kit, I lubed the piss out of the uniballs with FinishLine. That was over a year ago. I haven't touched them since and my truck doesn't make a single squeak.

    Really? My stock length UCA uniballs have never been lubed with anything and they don't make any noise, just greased the bushings really well. I'll see how it is after the LT install but, thats what subs are for:)

    the only reason i have squeeking issues...well its not even squeeking its more of a creakking lol is because I have TC's nylatron bushings and not the typical red derlin ones.

    my uppers dont make any noise either, im talking about the vertical uniballs on the LCA.
