Not a common kit. Mixed reviews on Pro Comps Set ups. Just search this forum and I think you'll find your answer.

My Dad has their 4" Kit on his two door Jeep with an Automatic Tranny and it's just out right terrible. Ride quality to steering is just really bad.

pro Comp has a very BAD rep


try Rough Country, I realize they have has some issues. They are more then willing to make it right for you.

I really love my kit, great service too!

here is a quick hint...dont install it!! Sell it to a "bad" friend of yours. I have the 4" kit and it is horrible. Very loose steering, steering stab broke, my shocks didnt even last 20,000 miles, etc etc. Sell the kit and save some $$ and buy something reputable.

I have the 4" PC kit and am one of those who did not have a terrible experience with it. Though I opted to buy an adjustable track bar instead of their "fix" to center the axle. Don't do this part of the install and it is fine. I did the relocation bracket on the rear trackbar which is okay, but I should have done an adjustable back there too. I added lower LCA's too. The only other short coming is the actual lift height. Some barely got the actual 4", and mine was probable more like 3.5". I had to add a 2" spacer lift in the rear to get back the lost height especially after a heavy bumper with tire carrier and those heavy Toyos. The ride quality is firmer than stock but not terrible.

Thanks for the information.
I decided to go with the Teraflex 2.5 with the shocks (Part #1251000). Ordering from 4 Wheehparts Riverside where they will install it.

good choice! I have had my TF 2.5 coil lift on for about 8K miles with no issues!
