Bill Luke is using 4" Procomp lifts with front trac bar and rear track bar relocation. It's a decent entry level 4" lift. The Mopar (teraflex) stage 3 lift uses aftermarket short arms with fox 2.0 resi shocks. Its a top end short arm lift but for the price you can get an aftermarket long arm for just a bit more. The reason dealers use it is for the warranty, its the only lift Mopar puts their stamp of approval on.

I think it's important to decide how much and what kind of wheeling you "might" do. A lift is the core of your whole jeep, and not just something to make it look cool. If you have decent credit you can get anything financed when you purchase, so don't feel like you have to take what the dealer offers. As far as warranty goes, don't sweat it. A dealer can't deny you warranty coverage unless an investigation determines the failure is DIRECTLY related to the aftermarket part. A quality lift will have it's own warranty, so you're covered pretty well.
I believe it's the "Warren-Magnusen act" that covers this.
When I mentioned what type of wheeling you "may" do, I'm saying its better to buy the best now, than cut corners and need to upgrade 6 months or 2 years down the road. If you'd like more info or have additional questions, feel free to pm me.

Just wanted to share my experience regarding getting gears done in my Jeep this week. I've been putting them off every since i got my 37's and now since I will towing a trailer i needed to bite the bullet. I contacted at shop Phoenix called Arizona Differential and they had me drop my Jeep off Monday morning. By 330 that afternoon the Jeep was done. Everything looks good, they seemed very knowledgeable, friendly, and I couldn't find a better price anywhere. They installed yukon 5.38's and are also most likely going to beef up my front D44 in the near future. A+ in my book, I would recommend.

I'm curious to see how those gears work for you. My 5:13s are still a little high for the 3.8 pushing around 35s, let alone if I ever go to 37s.

I bought my Jeep from Jones. It was stock so I can't comment on the lift, but it was the lowest priced used Rubi I could find. They were really good guys to deal with, much better attitude than most dealers in Phx. No BS. No hard sell. Very easy transaction.
