There are better products out there. Personally I like Full Traction for the money, but there are a half dozen companies with good lifts that are represented on this forum.

You will probably find more neg feedback than positive. The lifts are inexpensive for a reason. Look into Full Traction, Teraflex, Rock Krawler, just to name a few.

I'm not a huge fan of SkyJacker. I had it on a ZJ and had to put in adjustable shocks just to make the ZJ drive ok.

Am I alone in not liking Teraflex stuff? I had their coil 2.5 kit and was pretty disappointed. It sagged out very quickly and became more of a 1.5 kit after a few trails. The initial bumps were really rough so I could feel every crack in the road, but also went through the stroke so fast that I would bottom out if doing a drop off of a couple inches. This is running their coils and their shocks. I don't know, I just wasn't impressed.

But yeah, to get back on track; I would skip over SkyJacker and look into spending a bit more money on OME, Rock Krawler, Rubicon Express, Full Traction, or something similar.
