I was one of the first to installl the Skyjacker lift kit on my truck and I will tell you that while I have had no squeaks for rattles, I have had issues with the front and rear end links. I finally installed the 07-08 MDX fron end links and that was the end of that issue. My rear ones still snap at the head, but even non-lifted Ridge's have that problem. I tried contacting Truxx, since they provide replacement rear end links that are 2 inches longer, but they will not sell them separately. I found a shop in LA who is going to extend my stock ones by 2 in, so I am not expecting any issues after that.

The lift has come in handy a few times, even if its just 2in. Makes a difference. But again, I should have already guessed that.

Good luck.

I have had my Skyjacker kit with the MDX bars for a month or so, and have had no problems. I go to the ORV almost every weekend. I have videos on you tube and are constantly updating with new ones. Here is my latest.

I have to agree, 2" made the difference.

I Just got mine installed this weekend. First the truck felt terribly unstable :eek: , but after aligning it feels just like stock, no noises or strange movements :) . now IŽll start research about new tires, all terrain or alike. Any inputs from the forum about size and experiences with the stock wheels?
