Has anybody installed the Rough Country 3.5in Lift Kit

Specifically, this kit:

If you have installed it, what are your impressions? I have most if not all of the tools available to do the job myself, but I've never done suspension work before.
How does it handle post-install? Did you have to change/recalibrate sensors? If so, how did you accomplish this?

Thanks in advance to all who answer.

I have a '24 XLT FX4 with the 2.7L engine and was thinking about this kit, especially since it does not appear that ARB will be building anything for the standard Rangers in North America. I would have wanted a Ford Performance kit, but it appears that none such is on the horizon, at least at this time.

3.5" is likely going to be pushing the stock CV joints

I've wondered about that. The kit does include a bracket to change the angle of the drive shaft, but I have to wonder.

Rough Country’s reputation over the years has been pretty bottom of the barrel. Lately they seem to be trying to up their game though. I think a few members here have used this lift. I’m definitely curious about how well it holds up long term.

The above video states they come with diff drop but it's not shown in the photos or in the instruction sheet. Best to verify with them before order.
I have RC forged aluminum UCAs, and I can say that those are structurally solid.
