Okay thanks some people say it's real soft and bouncy and some people say the steering with 37's is horrible less responsive you don't have any of that
less responsive yes, big difference in power not really. i like it off course if not going to be as good as stock, but i love mine, and looks badass ( no soccer mom suv look ) its a jeep get it lifted

I agree with you it does look badass anyone get 35s hell I had 35s on my H3 even though it was was a slug but I had 35s LOL. Steering is not that bad though turning the wheel at slow speeds

I thoght KO2s didn't come in 35? Only 3175/70/17
They do. They aren't that much bigger than the 315's, but coming from the stock tires, that extra meat makes a huge difference.

I can't speak for those running 37's, but mine drives great both on and off pavement. Nothing about this kit feels soft or bouncy, even with my tires at 38psi. The sharper turning radius is still there and the power loss is almost negligible thanks to the 8-speed auto.

If there were anything to complain about with this kit outside of the spring bow debacle, it'd be the lack of adjustable control arms. However, the aftermarket will take care of that.

I took mine wheeling this past weekend and it performed flawlessly.

Do you have the bow? Did wheeling change it at all? It'll be a couple weeks before I can put mine through its paces, but the day is coming for that bowing spring to be put to the hard test.

I do have the bow, but it's not severe as in some photos. So far, wheeling doesn't appear to have any impact. I didn't hear any contact between the spring and the bump stop and I don't see any physical wear between them, either. I'd still like to get it corrected, though, and that should happen with a combination of new coil pads and adjustable trackbars.

Just installed mine last weekend.
Personally, this is one of the best lift kits I have ever had. Feels like factory ride even on highway. Off road is smooth. I freaking love this kit!
