Default 4" Pro Comp lift write up?

Has anyone installed the 4" Pro Comp lift themselves? I have a 2011 JKU and I bought the kit, per 4 Wheel Parts. I haven't heard any reviews on this kit, anyone have any input here? I'm not even convinced really that I need 4" of lift as I don't plan to do any extreme off roading. I'd like to keep the lift under $700 for the complete kit, and really I'd like to install it myself. Does anyone have any easy to install, good ride quality lift suggestions?

If the pro comp 4" lift isn't bad, I'll just stick with it... has anyone installed this themselves and have any tips?

Thanks!

i got the 4"rc suspension lift for around $500 and installed myself and was pretty straight forward to accomplish. the front end needs more attention then the rear to put together because of all the steering components. its deffinately doable and is nice to have a friend over to give a hand when needed!

I have a 4 inch pro comp lift and I'm sagging. I have bumpers a
12k winch and rails. I may be closer to 2.5-3 right now. I had mine installed so I can't say how easy the install was but the ride is ok... Just anticipate sag if you get bumpers and rails.

^ Yeah, no sag here either. I've had mine installed for about a year and a half and it's the same height as it was when it was installed

Big time sag on mine. bumpers, hard top and roof rack don't help. But the ride is real rough, man holes feel like i hit a rail road track goin 60.
