What makes people think that the Poly is more hardcore? The fact it has progressive springs is a positive, it has sway bar discos, springs from 2" to 4.5" with the same length shock. Im a little confused.
Or is it marketing hype?

Yep The 4 Door springs are tuned progressive rate items but for the 2 Door they use TJ springs in the front and BlackDiamond springs in the rear, a bit of a miss match if you ask me.
the rear springs were to short and actually fell out at full droop!
the Front unseated a fair bit too (thats not such a prob as they wont fall out like the rears will).
I was told that they are developing progressive rate for the SWB now.

The weld and bolt on brackets PP provide seem to be heavier than the AEV stuff. Whether there's a measurable difference is not the point, they look beefier. And this is where this product interpretation come from, and it is even shared on the US forums so its not just here we think this.

Wow, very interesting reading.
So is there a kit that works well for the SWB?
The AEV one sounds good, but only for LWB.
Is there a full kit that has good shocks like Fox, no welding and well fitting like AEV and springs stay in like Poly?

Been doing a lot of readng in this regard lately...
Full Traction seem to have a pretty good set up and you can get the stuff with zercs or OEM style bushes, fully rebuildable and yes they do make a RHD front adjustable Panhard...
I have ordered both front and rear and should be here any day now.

I have got an AEV kit, I have gotten rid of the front swaybar and put on a Currie Antirock. I had a 3.5 lift and have now gone to 4.5 and running and 37's.
This is my daily driver and have been running it for over a year and love it. I havent had any problems with my kit and yes its on a 4 door.
cheers MC
