I just finished the Full-Traction 6” long arm install this weekend. I just need to go have the rig aligned and install the shocks (OME’s) that arrive tomorrow or Tuesday. I’m happy with how it’s turned out, but I will really be happy if it performs well on the trail. So far, my biggest complaints are: 1) The sway bar disconnects snap, crackle, and pop while driving down the street. The pins are a tad loose in their holes, allowing some up and down movement when connected. 2) I don’t know how other instructions are from other kits, but someone who wasn’t mechanically inclined would have a hard time with some of the installation. For example, the instructions say to install the adjustable track bar to the axle with the 1/2” bolt. Well, maybe it’s just me, but the original bolt was nowhere near a ½”. I had to drill out the hole and cut part of the axle bracketry so that I could get a wrench behind it to tighten the bolt. There are a few other things like this, but for the most part all of the brackets were easy to locate and attach, and the installation went as well as to be expected.
Here's part of the bracket install:
Here's the rear completed with the newly regeared (4.88's) D44:

That's all the pics for now. After I get the shocks installed, I'll be able to drive this to work and use the forklift to get some flex shots. I'm excited to get the Aussie Lockers installed, put the rocker protection on, and go wheeling!
