I've read good reports from that kit. I have a habit of letting the smoke out, so I had to go the route which required more work. HA.

Getting that cradle locked-up better just brings more confidence, if you ask me. I think that's worth it's weight in gold. DO IT.

Do they only do rod ends? If so, how do you like the set-up? Would you say it's any "noisier"?

Do get much NVH with the diff' lockout? I'm been thinking about that one, but I'm a little worried about too much NVH, considering everything else. I've thought about seeing what squeezing RTV into the voids and seeing what difference, if any, that makes. I read about people doing that in the past. It sounds a little hoky, but I'm not above doing something that works. Shoot - hardcore - says the one with like +30% more power, LOL
I wouldn't suggest these rod ends are for everyone one... That's for sure.

I put them on my SLE, no more noise, a little more feel, as in you can feel the surface you're on. Well worth it!

THIS. Especially the "feel"-part. I do agree this is a great way to describe the sensation I called "noise".
