Don't do it!!!!!! I had one one and the springs were to soft and the jeep tilited to one side. I had to replace the whole lift. Skyjacker is known to have the softest springs on the market. Look around. Please.

A buddy of mine has an 08 Rubi Unlimited and bought it new and had the medium arm lit installed prior to delivery and has had no issues.

Yet. Give it time. Go wheel it and after awhile it will fail. I had the dealer put mine on when I got in new in Nov 06.

If you run a SEARCH you will find several unsatisfied Superlift owners ranging from poor ride quality to poor parts quality.

The temptation is there to go with low cost lift kits, but it can be a poor choice in the long run particularly with above average lift heights.

Just make an informed decision.
