If possible try to get a more complete kit with control arms. I have the standard lift on my 2 door and i have not been thrilled with the ride quality. I was getting a lot of bump steer and wandering on the road. You might want to buy a complete kit from the beginning instead of being displeased with your lift then going back and buying the extras afterward.

I have had both RE and Teraflex lifts so I can speak from experience. My RE lift was ok my Teraflex is awesome and rides much better than the RE. The main issue I had with the RE lift was the bushings wearing out in short order. I had to wait almost 3 months to get new bushings as the company was changing hands and bushing suppliers. My RE lift also was very noisy after a couple of wheeling outings. The Teraflex is smoother and silent compared to the RE. Here is a pic of the RE lift so I don't seem like a RE hater.

I can also say that under no circumstances would I ever use cam bolts on a lift. That is asking for trouble on several levels. Hope this helps.
