I had that lift on my old Jeep. I was extremely displeased with it. You get what you pay for. That was about 4 years ago so they may have changed some things. Here is a pic. It looked great but road like crap. Plus one of the shocks blew at about 200 miles. They replaced the shock after some talking. Took about 4 weeks to get in.

I got the lift on last night. It did take way longer than planned though. One of the exhaust bolts broke when trying to install the exhaust spacers. Then the alignment plates were kind of a headache to get to line up, but other than that it all went pretty well. I actually got about 4-1/4" on the front and 3" on the rear. The jeep is setting level. I will have pics later today. We worked in the garage for about 12 hours and got my lift installed and an exhaust on my buddies JK. It was a long day but a productive one. If it weren't for the broken bolt and the alignment plates it would have been shorter. Lol. The Jeep drives good and seems to handle great, now to save up the money for an adjustable track bar, lower control arms, and a front driveshaft.
