If you want to stay under 1k then go with Superlift.... Skyjacker is another option, but i'm not a fan of their work.

That's pretty high. I think he's gouging you. First of all, the Superlift kit comes with a front track bar, so scratch that off the list at a savings of $138. BulletProof Brakes??? Haven't seen those for a JK...savings of $300. Do you really need adjustable upper and lower links for the front and rear? If so, why not get a kit that already includes them? My suggestion would be to do a little research on this board before you buy from someone who may not know what he's talking about. The Teraflex 4" System (and there are others as well) comes with upper and lower links, a front bar, rear drop bracket springs shocks and more for about $2000. I would do that before I bought all kinds of other stuff for $2700. Good luck.
