I just put one on my 99 4 door swb 4x4 psd. I really like it but it was kinda tough installing it. The centering bolts for the leafs were just alittle bit big so I had to file the holes out alittle so it would fit, other then that it wasnt bad and dam my truck looks tough. I put 285/75/16 tires on it afterwards. P.S I also had to recenter the steering wheel afterwards but that wasnt any big deal

leveled it out real nice, with the tires it raised the front end about 4 inches as for the ride it is alittle stiffer, but you have to relize that you are adding 5 more leafs to the 2 that is already there. As for to buy or not buy I would say buy, and I would buy it again if I had to do it all over

Is it similar to the Edge Mini Pack? And if you don't mind, how much did it set you back?

Ok thanks. The Edge Mini Pack I was looking at doesn't come with a track bar. I need to look into this more. Thanks again.
