    One thing I was kind of disappointed in was that it didn't come with the four bolts ( 2 each side ) for the bottom front shock mounts. Besides that it has everything.

    It came with drop pitman arm, track bar relocation bracket, rear shock mount relocation brackets , top and bottom bump stops, the only thing extra you need to buy is a sye kit and cv driveshaft.. I'm not sure about the front driveshaft yet, they didn't say you need a new one but I'm a bit...

    Finally putting in my rubicon express long arms. I got my sye in, new driveshaft, and my lock right in the front. Painted it up a little and now have to get it all back under it.
