I found some details about this new kit and thought I would share.How does 10" front travel,12"rear travel sound? Not bad to me. The 6.5" kit uses a HD 2.5" front hanger w/4" progressive leafs in front and a block w/4" springs in rear. They also use a new spring mount that flips the fr. U-bolts for clearance and they have a kit to move the stabilizer above the axle and out of the way. The kit also includes front&rear brake lines and a extended length t-bar w/new upper & lower mounts. Shocks tuned specifically for kit are extra.The price at rubicon express is $1760,tuned shocks extra.I am going to wait for price info on the Z-link from skyjacker but I think it will be EXPENSIVE.

I've only seen pics of the install of the Rubicon and they definitely have a different setup than anyone else with using only a few number of leafs per pack and what they do with the trac bar. I'd be interested to see how the lift performs myself and the durability of it.
I think I remember reading that the Skyjacker Z-link is going to be around $3500.00 but don't quote me on that one.
And from what I've read a true 4-link (like the one being built by One Up Offroad) would perform better than a Z-link.

Donahoe Racing also has a lifetime guarentee..............I've seen their banner across the top of the site a few times lately, so I'm guessing that they sponsor the site again.....

Didn't Revtek just come out with a new 8" lift for SD's? I think it came with a transfer case indexing ring (and new funky skidplate) to ease the driveline angles. Anyone else heard or seen it, cause I can't remember where I did!

Yes they did come out with a 8" with a reindexing ring for the t-case and a new crossmember so that you have clearance of the front shaft since it is rotated downward. That's not necessary with a 8" lift though.
