PERFEX kit is poorly engineered. Camber is wrong, too much drop out of the suspension puts CV and driveshaft at bad angles and pulls on them when suspension is extended, screws with brake cable setting on back, and poor customer support.

One guy on this forum already popped a CV on a 2004 Rubicon. I'm not taking any chances for the tiny improvement in ride. It would be cheaper for me to take a loss on my 04 and buy the 05 with the better ride than periodically blow out axles and driveshaft u-joints.

If it just changed angle of shocks (new upper AND lower brackets) instead of adding travel as a result of shock relocation, it would be better - even at twice the price - GET IT?

I have 14" ITP wheels with mudlite XTR's. They are a low profile radial. The low profile takes the roll out of turns and makes the quad more controllable. I have them on an 05 king quad 700 and they handle the mud very well and give a smooth ride everywhere else.
Alot of people here run the 589's and if you are going to hit mud and don't want to break much they are awesome tires. Outlaws are awesome mud tires also but put alot of stress on your axles. I live in Fla and there is some mud around here.
