We called procomp and these are the answers to the following questions that were given by the rep:
1. Does the above mentioned lift give a full 4"? Answer = "No, it gives with stock bumpers, etc, at most 3.25"
2. Do the coils ever come out of the buckets? Answer = "No, never heard of that happening"

Thats about all I remember, but thats what was concerning me.

I ended up dumping the lift and going with the Teraflex 4" full flex arm lift.

What do you all think?

Thanks
Dang - was hoping you would buy my procomp so i could justify completing my Teraflex lift!

...and yes - everytime i went offroad (prior to installing limiting straps) my spring would rotate out of the perch.

I forgot about this post as I was all wrapped up with my jeep having gotten its lift!





Extremely happy with the end product.

Had to do 1 tweak to get it right, but now its awesome!

I'm in the same boat. I purchased the Stage 1 lift and am getting ready to buy the adj trackbars and the control arms. I don't have any major complaints with the lift. Yes, each time I go offroading, I've had to reseat the driver side spring. I did geta full 4" out of it. Overall, this isn't a bad lift. If I had to do it again, I would've started with a more complete kit.

Since then though I have purchased the Tera flex control arms(front and rears, uppers and lowers) and the JKS Track Bars. It would have be less expensive to just purchase a complete kit to begin with.

the stage 1 kit doesn't come with rear springs. It only has the spring spacers for the rear.

This was my first lift (and Jeep) so I was relying on the advice of 4 Wheel Parts. They were close to my house and I figured if I had any problems I could easily run over there. Next time around I will probably go another route now that I know more about lifts.

- thanks - just found that out - just ordered teraflex front and rear springs - slowly changing out the whole pro-comp kit. what a waste of money!
