I drive it in Chicago,speed bumps,rough roads, not easy driveways,etc.
I have no lift,don't need it,I don't scrape the bottom.
Lift system is just another complicated mechanism that only adds unnecessary weight over front wheels,IMO.

+1. Not too mention that the lift requires the heavy headlights

it is a great deal until you stop in the street to raise the car and get whacked by MILF in a mini van. Those few inches will be the most expensive few inches you never got a chance to use.
