Save your money for something better. There are numerous reviews is Skyjacker on the site if you search a little, most not very good.

What size tire are you looking to run?
We make a 2" system that many are happy with and it doesn't break the bank.....
No matter what you do have fun!

Buddy has a skyjacker that came with the fixed lowers and he's ok with it. He doesn't talk it up at all and it hasn't broken yet. Just do a little more researching. Teraflex makes a kit that a lot of guys like in 2.5. That will run you about $800 with shocks.

There are many manufacturers that focus on JK's - sky crapper is not one. However, best laugh I had this year was when a club member bought their shocks. They lasted around a month before catastrophic failure. Hahahaha.... Laughing again

I have a skyjacker lift with teraflex shocks on my jeep and it rides fine. No problems except for the rear track bar bracket that broke.
