ELKA's used to have a 2.5" series then a 3-4" then 6". Now they are 2.5"-4" and 6". Can you tell me what part #'s are on the box's please. I just want to verify that you have the right one's.

So if the #'s are correct what could be the problem? u agree it looks a little odd.

Where can ya get just coils? All I'm finding are the lift kits. And also I have been searching but kinda got tired so I'll kill two birds with one stone lol. If I put 3" coils on do I need to do anything with the driveshafts? I already have shocks brake lines will be ordered. JK'S front/rear adj track bars. And I need to order bump stops, which I'd like to order when I find coils.

Not necessarily, you have a 4dr, the rear ds will be good for a looong time. Run the front till it goes, which it could last you a good amount of time.

Nope, keep an eye on the rezzeppa joint at the tcase, when that joint boot tears and/or spits the grease out and starts a racheting sound, its going.
If you gotta 2dr, well, yeah you'll need new ds's soon and front lower control arms and rear uppers to rotate your pinion for the double carden rear ds. Stock rears usually don't last long on a 2dr jk lifted 3in or more.
Sorry, thought u had a 4dr.
