Default SkyJacker Long Arm Kit...anyone used it?

Iv got a 5.5 inch Rustys lift on my 2014 JKU now. 37s on the factory Rubicon wheel. Rides good but just not the most capable lift. Been looking at the Skyjacker 4-6 long arm kit. I would go ahead and do flat fenders if I decided to pull the trigger on it. Anyone used it? Good? Bad?

Not that you asked, by why so much lift? You'd be much better off and happier with performance going with a 2.5"-3.5" lift. If you drive it much, the long term wear issues aren't worth a useless amount of lift.

If you feel your current set up isn't capable - changing out the arms to long won't make a huge difference in offroad capability.
Going that much lift, 37's, and flat fenders may look kinda funny.

What are yo trying to accomplish over your current set up? More articulation? Stability? Clearance?

Even though it's my daily driver, we do use it as a shop vehicle. Just looking for something that does have a universal use. Still needs to have a half way descent ride, and be a little more capable off road. I know full well doing a 2.5 or 3.5 performance lift would be best but we are still wanting to keep it the size it is I think. It's a pretty noticeable Jeep around town and people have associated it with my shop.
