Look past the cheap price tags and check out the components. They'll do the job, and the price is right, but non-adjustable ca's and a drop pitman wouldn't be high on my list of wants for a new lift.
Just a heads up to do some homework and know what you are getting.

Need Some Help??...
Hey everyone I have a Few Questions. I am looking to do a 3inch Fabtech lift with 33's. Now I plan on doing wheels and tires all in one shot with the lift so mind is made up on that part and money isnt the issue im having. I have my mind made up on the Fabtech lift but when I had spoken with a fabtech tech he had mentioned to me that the Front and Rear DS are recommended to be upgraded. After finding this out and talking back with the place i am getting my items from they had mentioned to me that skyjacker has a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inch lift that will not require the upgrade of the front and rear ds. Anyone here know anything about either of the two lifts and also this is my everyday driver and I plan on going trailing but not to the extreme just some fun every once in a while. Guys any help is appreciated cause im a huge fan of the fabtech after doing research but at the same time after the tech told me they recommend the ds i dont have the loot to do that right away.

Concerning the driveshafts - The name on the package is irrelevant. It's all about the variables : actual lift height, shock length, model, transmission, disconnected or not, all street or max flex, stock flares or flats, etc. No one can say whether or not you will have driveshaft issues with any particular lift or any particular height, but the faq's will give you a good starting point.

My 2 cents.
I'd go with a budget boost and 35" tires. That will be like a 3.5" lift over stock. Add full skid plates and you'd be golden.
In fact, I am thinking of removing my 4" lift and doing this. The real issue is I have is dragging the differentials over stuff, not the frame. My lift sags on the right (like all lifts seem to do) and it is starting to annoy me.

Man, all this lift talk is killin me! I can't wait to put one on my rig. Went wheelin yesterday and took some pretty hard hits on the underside...and got stuck on a stump at one point..lol. I hope the stock skids are enough till I get an upgrade...

Fabtech 3" lift
4 mickey t baja claw ttc
4 mickey classics II.
Also i see people are having issues with the tire pressure gauge light on. Is that something that im looking to worry about as well? Thanks again for the info on not needing a lift for 33 on jk now im wondering if should or not. What would you do if you had the money to do this list ?
