I have the 2 inch Skyjacker Budget Boost, Hydro 7000 Shocks and Hydro 7000 steering stabilizer and I couldn't be more pleased with the set up. I want to get the complete 4 inch supension kit, but the BB was a LOT cheaper, so I went that route for the time being. I'll end up with the kit sooner or later, but my JK is only a few months old right now and lookin' good with the 33's under her. Rides a lot more like a jeep with the new shocks.

X2.. The new kits are supposed to have a brace for the relocation bracket, so it's a non-issue.

for those running the skyjacker shocks, are they more like stablizers? what i mean is, with all shocks i've had they push the rod out under pressure. on the skyjacker shocks i got with my 2.5" kit, they dont push the rod out. they slow the rod from being pushed in or out fast but offer no "push" when not under load. i havent installed them yet b/c not sure if they are defective???

my only complaint on Skyjacker is the shocks are prone to rust and show against the white paint.
Otherwise....good stuff
