I have no experience with ProComp and cannot help you with that. But I have often heard the saying, "Friends don't let friends buy ProComp" on jeep forums.

I do have experience with other lifts, and I can tell you when you take the cheap route it is noticeable. And when you ride in a vehicle that has a properly nice suspension system you notice how good it feels. Taking the cheap route you loose something, could be ride quality or strength. You get what you pay for. just my and is worth what you paid for it.

Mine rides same as stock. Besides, it's a Jeep not a Caddy.

Pro comp, skyjacker and Rubicon Express are all less than desired quality lifts. If you are into quality, metal cloak, rock krawler, full traction, teraflex.

Like most things in life, you get what you pay for.

After looking into those I really like the rock Krawlers.

Haven't run a Procomp lift since my YJ but it looks like the reviews are similar. I thought I needed to get a kidney transplant after running a Procomp lift it was so stiff. Brutal...

I have a ProComp lift and hear a lot of FOD from folks about them. Would be interesting to see how many haters actually wheeled with them versus just parroting some other hater. Mine works fine. I wheel some fairly rough terrain and it works without issue, and it rides fine on the road. You have to lube it and check bolts from time to time as with any lift, and the shocks make a huge difference. I have the adjustable MX6's on mine and can make it float like a caddy or ride like a buckbord. I typically go for something a little closer to Caddy

I did get the stage 2 so got the front track bar and rear re-lo kit. Didn't get the high-steer kit but probably won't either, dont think I need it. Doesn't use a dropped pitman arm which is good. About the only thing I might do is relo the zerks on the CAs.
