I have one on my 04. Installed it about a year ago. No issues. Seems to be a well made. Mine was used so I gave it a nice coat of paint before installation.

I have one...sitting in my garage. I can't tell you anything about it other than what it looks like, but I'm sure you already know that.

It seemed to be one of the better ones when I asked around about leveling kits and one of the cheaper ones. If I could just get a little time, I would go ahead and install it. I need to stop procrastinating.

I don't see how this would matter. The strut is bolted down solid either way.

I too have a HBS kit sitting in my garage... waiting.. lol

I don't think it matters. I would think that the steel kits would be better made. Polyurethane does wear out over time. As far as being rough on the A arms and drive shafts, it might take some life away from them, but I don't think that 2.5 inches will do too much damage.
