worth it IMO plus you get the cool factor of throwing a roost

Tell her that you have to buy the droop also or it won't work. It is worth a shot.

dont take it the wrong way, but the JC pump wont take a droop unless you do the entire change over. as to the question - id say get the diverter. you will definatly like the ride better once you learn were the hull likes the diverter set. and most likely gain some MPH. and of course the cool factor of throwing that roost. trust me, youll be looking back more than forward for the first few times out.
and yes. place sends you all you need to do the install. i for one prefer the hydrolic version, but thats up to you.

I'd say it is worth every penny. Spring for the hydraulic set-up also. Ditch the plastic hose and run braided line. You will wonder how you ever got along without it.

I would look into the aggressor diverter, it comes with all the options place has as standard equipment and is cheaper to boot! I'll agree the hydraulic is the way to go, epspecially for a couple buck more. You know how i count my pennies! :D
