Oh man, I'm looking at these for my build too! Gotta give a review when you can; please!

So I have some of the stuff installed, ran into an issue with the harness, it was made incorrectly and 2 of the plugs were “swapped” and the one that needed to be on the long set of wires was on the short set and vice versa. My replacement harness is being shipped out now apparently. Also, something not mentioned on their site, or that is “incorrect” on their site is the transfer case knob controller. Their site says it has a knurled edge around the rotational adjustment knob, apparently that is reserved for just the Pro version, not the mid tier Active version. The site says otherwise but when I contacted them I was told the site must be wrong. So to set expectations if anyone else orders the Active version vs the Pro version, don’t expect the black knurled knob, it will be a smooth silver knob. The components looks very high quality though, from the shocks to the harness (OEM like) to the shift knob itself. I just wish I didn’t have an expectation of the knurled knob when I ordered (minor issue). Now to wait on the new harness so I can finish it up and actually feel what I paid for. Overall it’s minor things and being fixed but still frustrating.
If SDI is on this forum you guys need to get your site updated to reflect what will be sent, or for the cost of these things, just provide the knurled knob!

Wow those are some cool shocks and that screen that mounts on the tcase shifter is something! Watched the video on the site and swear they show knurled for your version of the kit. Maybe they got lazy and where using the same setup in the promo video.

Yeah, they said the knurled ring is reserved for the "pro" version that adds in additional customization features that the active one does not have. I was a bit frustrated by the fact that the website even said it came with the Active version but more than one person there said the site is wrong and they actually fixed their site after I spoke with them. Reality is, it just fine and the machined silver ring matches the silver trim in the Rubicon really well. I might end up liking it better, who knows.....

Reality is- that was false advertisement and they should honor what was advertised.

So everything arrived and I finished up the install Friday but only put about 5 min of drive time on them before leaving it behind for the weekend. I can say on our crappy uneven country roads it is a lot more stable, less side to side tossing around, potholes (Ohio potholes) are minimized, and I even bombed over some train tracks I’d never consider with my Fox 2.0s. It corners a lot better, it’s no sports car but it is so much more fun to drive on the road. I can’t wait to get back home so I can get some time behind the wheel. I had some issues with quality control issues but SDi handled it professionally and got it all squared away. I can’t complain one bit how they handled the issues I had and their communication was outstanding.

I got to test a JLU with the full setup out in Moab, it is crazy awesome.

We've spoken over Facebook. Congrats on the install. The harder you push them the more they shine. For daily I run the fronts once click of the dial firmer than the rears. I have both front/rear more towards comfort as well.
I haven't really messed with the PRO settings much and in hindsight... probably should have just gone with the Active tier.
Wish you were closer, would love to compare your setup vs mine.

Yooooo! Yeah, that was the first question I asked SDi was if I went with the Active setup could I upgrade to the Pro later on and the answer was “yes”. I can’t imagine me playing with all the pro features but possibly adjusting front or rear softness to my liking, and having rear load adjustment is huge on these trucks. I really can’t wait to really get seat time in with them!

Probably around 3” of backspacing. I think the Mopar Beads are around 4.5 but I have a 1.5” spacer in there also. These are only considered an 8” wheel with the non-beadlock ring and 8.5” wheels with the true beadlock ring in use.
