Overall I am pleased.

Cool. Post some pics please.

I'm thinking to get that kit; well maybe with 1/2" bump stops. I guess that if I'd have any problem with the installation, I can always ask here about details. Does the kit have detailed installation instructions (because I'll definitely need them)?

Wow what a little drama queen...ive never heard of anything but RAVING fans of Trailduty and Phil.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Trail Duty and it would be nice if every business was run with the service Phil's is.

You should definitely get this kit! The 1/2" bump stops are the right size to get, it leaves a little gap at normal ride height and greatly improves any body roll.

The bumpstops are pretty easy to install. You pry out the old stops, then use some soapy water (or just water) and work the new ones in. Make sure they are set on all sides.

The shocks are easy too. Remove the bolts holding the bottom of the shock, then the nut on top, and remove. You might have to manually compress the shock to remove it.

With the new shocks, use the bushing that come with it, don't reuse the old bushings. You will definitely have to compress the new shock to get it in place. You can do this by putting the threaded top in place and then pushing up on the shock. Try to have it close to where it goes. Once in place, tighten all hardware and enjoy.

thanks, excellent! I'm going to order the stuff. If I get stuck with the install I'll ask.
