if you get this kit, you should be sure to add a set of adjustable front lower control arms so that you can set your caster. also, you should consider getting a track bar relocation bracket and dropped pitman arm or draglink flip kit as with this much lift, you will have some bump steer issues without it. also, if you have a 2-door, you need to keep in mind that at this height, you will need to replace your rear drive shaft with a u-joint style one sooner than later and, you will definitely need a set of adjustable rear upper control arms to do this. if you have an automatic, you will want a new front shaft as well as the factory one is too big in diameter and will make contact with the lip of you tranny pan and this will cause it to tear its boot.

Thanks for the reply. I've got an 08 unlimited automatic. Is there another 4 inch lift that I would be better off going with? I'm not really in the price range for a teraflex but I do want a 4 inch. Not looking to replace either drive shaft either but I will be willing to add control arms

And I should add that it is 99.95% for on road use. Looks more than anything.

If its just for looks and on road use why not just get a 2.5 coil and throw some 1.5 coil spacers on top, notch the skid below the front driveshaft with a grinder so that it doesn't hit and add lower lower control arms and be done with it. It'll be a lot cheaper and work for what you're going for.

Yep! On it and love it! Only $540 after the rebate. It includes the pitman arm drop and the track bar relocation.
