That is a really good price, I'd go for it but that's just me. I didn't see what brand shocks they use or if it's their own brand, but you could always swap them out for a more known brand if you wanted. I lifted my 2wd but went with the RCD lift. Everyone always says if you want to actually use the lift off road go with Fabtech, RCD, and Pro Comp etc.

I don't know. It doesn't say who makes any of the components.

i saw that kit and i know that the spindles and shocks come from doetsch tech. the springs are from spring tech. i don't know about the upper control arms. i think its a good kit and an even better price. i would get it if i had the money but this new 4wheeler is taking my money.

wouldnt trust a 6.5 lift for that price....especially when tough country isnt that great of a kit and its about 1200.....if your going to lift it...do it right....dont go cheap on the parts....you will just pay for it in the end

I would be concerned but that is just me I am **** like that. It is at a price like that for a reason I would think that reason is cheaper product but I could be wrong. Do what you think is best.

Probably not. Most shops like that wont install something they dont sell, they cant warranty it.

I would stay away from any lift kit that has "Ultimate Street Performance" on the sticker of the company. That is just about funny right there.
