Default Skyjacker 2.5"-3.5" lift

JK25BPH = model no.

I have this skyjacker lift that was bought for me as a gift. It comes with 4 shocks and spring, a rear track bar bracket and brace. I've just wanted to know the reviews on this item and curious as to getting a whole new set of control arms. I do know for a fact that I need at least one track bar but I'm going with both new ones. Can anyone give me feedback please? Thanks

Personally, I would suggest getting a set of AEV Control Arm Brackets for $100 instead of dropping $600+ on a set of control arms.

My RC Control Arm Brackets are great with my 4" lift. But AEV has spots for 2.5", 3.5", and 4.5" lifts, so they're a little more versatile for dialing in everything.

JKS are popular track bars, TF makes beefy bars, really you can't go wrong with whichever you choose.

I would also suggest making your own brake line drop brackets. Super easy and cheap to do.

Edit: I'm running front and rear TB brackets, and my axles are centered just fine. Stock TB has very nice bushings.

I would also suggest upgrading much of your hardware though to Grade 8 bolts, so you have less of chance of threads eating the bushings as the Grade 8 bolts are shouldered instead of fully threaded.

I have this lift on my 2013 2dr for about 4 months now with no problems. However i think i am still going to order a set of the AEV brackets.
