Just wondering if anyone here has seen it in person, or maybe has it on their TJ. It looks sweet from the pics on their site and they say the fit and finish make it seem as if it was straight from the factory.

Right now I have an OME lift and it barely clears the 33". But I want to go with 35"s when I get back from Afghanistan and don't really want to go with long arms. I also like the fact that this will allow me to clear the 35"s and still keep the center of gravity low.

What do you guys think?

I've seen it, and its a quality kit IMO. Just remember to factor in cost of getting you entire front end repainted.

Go for it. It is awesome. Not cheap but a very very cool set up.

I've already thought about that...but even with the cost of paint it would equal out to the cost of a long arm kit. I might not be able to flex as well as long arms but my center of gravity would be a lot lower.

If you haven't already seen it, it might help you decide.

I have seen the highline on jeeps here in CO. They do look cool and you can fit bigger tires no doubt. But why not go with a 4'' long arm system, and do highline fenders. you can run bigger tires and have a low cog. I run an RK 4'' long arm and so far have not had any problems with it wanting to tip me over. And i have had this thing almost sideways wheeling haha.
