Has anyone have experience installing this kit?
Reads like a DIY kit if you know your way around your Jeep.

Description - Super 35 Rear Axle Kit with ARB Air Locker for Dana 35 are Made in the USA! This kit features Upgraded 30 Spline Axles shafts and a ARB Air Locker to make your Dana 35 a Super 35.
All Revolution, rear axle kits come with the bearings seals and retainers 100% pressed together and ready to install and are backed by a comprehensive lifetime warranty that covers all failures including bent shafts.

This is the best price I have found –1,078.00

I know the sound bites - “why polish the turd, save for a 44…” But my application is more “not get stuck and have to use my winch” rather than “I need the strongest Axel out there”

Have not installed this. The shafts are the easy part, the ARB install.. if you have no experience with this.. I would consider having a 4x4 that knows arb's install for you. might also want to consider a gear swap at the same...

That's a very good kit, it doesn't get any better than Revolution Gear & Axle.... it's definitely worthy of 35" tires.

So far as the ring & pinion gears go, the only thing that has to be done is to set the backlash which is not difficult, at least not nearly as difficult as setting the R&P gears up from scratch. Setting the backlash only involves shimming the ARB carrier left or right until the right amount of backlash between the ring & pinion gears is achieved. Enough preload also has to be included to make the ARB tight enough to require a couple blows from a mallet to seat it into the housing.

However, there's a lot more to getting the rest of an ARB air locker installed properly than just getting the backlash set. That is why ARB strongly urges it be installed by someone who is experienced at installing ARB air lockers. Not just lockers, specifically the ARB Air Locker which isn't an easy install. For that reason, I wouldn't consider this kit really installable by Joe-average shadetree mechanic even if setting the backlash would be an easy job for him.

Check out Edge automotive in Englewood. They do pretty good work. I had a regear done back in March and they charge about $85/hour.
