I am not a fan of a body lift, especially with a manual trans... But if you like it, it's a good kit for the price. My next lift will be an OME HD when I get back from deployment with some extra $$$$.

My two cents would be to go with the Teraflex 2.5. Similar price and love the lift.

There are people running 37's on that lift arrangement. (when properly set up, of course)

But, take some time and read through the FAQ's at the top of this section. Lots of good info to help make the right decisions. (lift height vs tire height, tire width vs wheel backspace, suggested components for various lift heights, gearing opinions, etc...)

As far as 'that' particular lift goes, try the little search button in the upper right corner. Lots of RC threads lately, with some feedback you should read before you just make an impulse purchase. (ie. do some homework first)

This is great advice. The lift kit you select can have very big impact on JK:

1. The tire size you can fit
2. The road handling
3. The off road performance
4. Drive line problems
5. Alignment issues
