Check it out - looks promising for those wanting an off the shelf rear suspension solution.

They've now officially released it. I'm talking to them about testing one a second gen to confirm it'll work. Any reason to think it won't?

There's a mock-up pick on the first page of the thread I linked on syty.net.

They say "bolt on only 4 holes" so I'd guess it's using the spring mounts.

I want the 3 link and watts for the Blazer now, but I'm guessing there isn't much space for it with the rear tank. Their price is actually reasonable considering all the design and fab work a custom setup would need.

The price is also comparable with the RideTech link setups and the HRTH truck arm kit.

I spoke to JSM - if someone with a second gen buys the kit at full price, installs it, and provides a review on handling they will refund 30% the purchase price to them.

I purchased and installed this kit at the end of 2018.  JSM provides spacers to make the kit work in a 2WD configuration.  Overall, it was a nice kit and installation wasn't difficult.  The only thing that I couldn't sort out was the ride height.  It would be perfect for a Syclone at stock height or slightly lowered, but I wanted to get close to a ZQ8+2" blocks, and I couldn't make it happen.

Great to know, thanks! Was the ride height just too high?

Basically, yes. It put me right about stock ZQ8 ride height. I would have to add back the bumpstops to prevent the upper link from hitting the bed floor.
