According to the Brochure - it comes with springs, bumpstops, rear sway bar link extension, and front sway bar disconnects. Thats all it says. No driveshafts. But in the picture it looks like it has new everything in the front.

The Mopar Performance Jeep Wrangler JK 4.5" suspension is designed to create enough under-vehicle space for massive 37" tires to operate inside the Wrangler’s fender openings. The kit is designed to fit any 2007-2008 4-door model from the X to the Rubicon. The 4-door kit comes complete with every part needed to bring your vehicle to the next level of performance including long-arm control arms, u-joint driveshafts and specially-tuned Bilstein shocks. Mopar's new Trail initiative brings a wide array of driveline and suspension upgrades for the hot-selling 2-and 4-door Wranglers!

I too saw the kit for sale and asked the dealer if it voided my warantee. He said if it's Mopar it doesn't void the warantee. Great! but I think I want it in writing from a Chrysler rep.. not a dealer. If my lifetime warantee stayed in effect I'd spend the money without a second thought.
I have a funny feeling about the tranny... and I don't really trust the v6 like I did the 4.0l of the past... I'd like to keep my warantee if I could.
On the other hand, I don't think the guys in the bays where I got my Rubi are familiar with lifts. Seems they are more of the "just replace that part" kind of guys. Nothing wrong with that, but.... hmmm. And if they don't install it nobody else can (and I might as well do it outside the dealership). My concern is the weld positions... the welds themselves.. I don't know.

Well list price from RE for a 4-door 4.5'' long arm is $3,300 and $350ea. for driveshafts and I dont think it comes with shocks, so through the cost of shocks in there and that should be close to make up the differnece for them to install it! I would pay $500 more for full factory warranty, if I wanted to go that big and had a 4-door!

I would too, but it doesn't keep the warranty any more than installing any other lift on your own. This kit is under the Mopar Performance line, and none of the items carry any warranty other than the product will be free from manufacturing defects for 1 year. There are other lifts out there with better warranties than that.
