Hey.

His **** is undoubtedly the best there is but $7700?

What about OME or Terafirama?

if you wheel your disco hard there is no better kit than RTE for bolt on options. I'd argue not all of it is necessary per say but yes it's as good as it comes. Never seen a bent radius arm from Simon. That said for $7700 I'm not going that route. That kind of money would give me the option for a full blown custom set up but I can fab that myself, tho the v8 makes it much more complicated for a front 3 link set up.

with a 2" lift you only need the springs and shocks.

i paired the RTE springs with some Fox shocks and like the ride. 2" lift with steel bumpers front and back.

Ive gotten a quote from him for 5in lift complete kit like that a couple years ago and it was around 4-5k.

i ended up piecing mine together with TF, fox, lk8, & Great Basin. And am very close that probably. I didn’t keep track.

The one thing I do want of His is the lift springs

RTE springs are hands down the best. If I didn't run RTE arms I'd go adrenaline. I'm not wild on the fox shocks but they are better than OME or TF. The bilstien 7100s that simon offers are the best option out there hands down if you can find them in stock anywhere..

Thanks for sharing the link. I want to buy fill lift kit and for that I am searching for the link online with reviews and I am glad I found your post. When I was looking for it online, I also found https://slototimes.com/slots/danger-high-voltage/ website where I found a lot of slot sites through which I can earn money by winning slot games. Now, I don't have to leave my home to earn money.

I had a 3in TF lift on my D2 and upgraded to the full RTE kit. The ride quality between the RTE kit and TF is night and day and the caster corrected radius arms fixed the sketchy steering with the oem arms and 3in lift.

so you're pure 3" rte lift with 35s? 285/75/17? What's the backspacing on your wheels? obviously, you trimmed your fenders, but that would be preferable for me than buying all new suspension. I'm on 2" RTE and want to eventually do 35s but would rather just add 1" spacers to make ti work if possible. trimming is fine by me.

1inch lift blocks front and rear for total of 4 in lift. Tires are 315/75r16. Wheels are 16x8 +0 offset.

It could be done on 3" but more trimming may be necessary. A 1" body lift would really be kind of the sweet spot as a suspension lift doesn't really help fit larger tires.. Those Method's really are sharp looking and a great value all things considered. Offset looks better than the steelies which gave me fits when I first put on 285/75/16s on a blown 3" lift, was rubbing everywhere.
