I broke a ton of parts on my very expensive skyjacker long arm kit on my street queen of a TJ... If it broke from street use I'd hate to see it on the trail. Control arms are garbage.... Bushings and heim joints are junk after a year.... My brackets broke at the welds..... Don't walk, RUN!

Skyjacker needs major work... Id go with rough country if your trying to save some money. Learn from our misfortunes.

i am also running a skyjacker that came on my 08 jk, no problems so far but it is the coil spring kit... personally i am lookin to swap the coils out in the future with some teraflex, and get control arms. the ride on the skyjacker is also a little rougher than some other kits. but this is just one opinion and from what i have heard the performance on skyjacker is hit or miss

Wow, I have been on this Forum for 4 years and that is the first even partially good thing I have heard about Skyjacker.
