Default Skyjacker

Anyone running skyjacker lifts? Whats y'all's thoughts? They are located about 1.5hrs away and our local dealer gives us discounts for them.

LOVE LOVE LOVE them, I will NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER BRAND EVER! Hers a shot of my old Ram and my current Rubi, I also installed a Skyjacker 2.5 lift in anther members jeep here (Tyreelp) and he loves his lift too! I will ALWAYS recommend Skyjacker lifts! Quality parts that take a beating, and customer service team is awesome! Always trying to help even if u don't have their lift!

Did I mention that I LOVE Skyjacker? Lol

I can't go against what Jersey-Devil says but I know 4 yrs ago I went with Teraflex after tons of research and hearing just as many poor reviews on skyjacker then good. Maybe they last better on trucks that don't Offroad like our jeeps but one local guy in our jeep club hated his a year after installing it(Skyjacker) squeaks and sagging etc maybe they're built better now. But i'd wait for more reviews then our 2...... Especially if you want to do it right..... Love my Teraflex and Metal Cloak getting tons of good reviews too these days. AND BRO DON'T BUY SOMETHING CAUSE YOU LIKE THE COLOR!!!! C'mon man lol you can always paint it yourself .... Good luck

I would agree. Shop around. Rock Krawler, MC, synergy, teraflex and aev. Best kits imo and all owners have little to no issues with them.

I wheeled the balls off that dodge ram, no squeeks, creaks, broken parts, never had ANY problems with their products and I currently beat the balls off my current skyjacker lift. The pics are red by u might get black parts. That's how my ram came, I just painted it red like mentioned above.
I never knew why ppl complain about their products cuz I've had their lifts on two completely different vehicles and had/have NO PROBLEMS.

Op-the lift u posted above is the exact same lift I installed in Tyreelp's rig, just his kit didn't come with cntrl arms. U get that lift u don't NEED anything else. Brake line extentions wouldn't hurt tho

I have the skyjacker hydro shocks all around and are happy with them. I wanted a soft feel because i thought the stocks were stiff.
