Don't think you'd want to do much racing with 8" of lift.....

ive run the their long arms/mounts, trackbar/mount, and coils on my cherokee. despite all the bashing their older stuff got it appears that the new ownership has definitely turned their products around. i beat the hell out of that stuff, ie. dropping in on and dragging across rocks, stumps, etc and had no problems with it. the only thing i didnt like were the coils because they were to soft for my rig and sagged after about 6 months of abuse. i did have a winch and heavy bumper up front though.
