I tossed my pro comp lift. I wouldnt even sell it. Scrap metal. Rocking a synergy 3 inch lift. Just wheeled it today and man! What a huge difference in ride and flex! Pro comp springs are short and stiff, synergy are longer and plusher. DD driving is vastly improved! Rocking FOX 2.0's as well.

Cancel it. Keep in mind, they will push whatever has the highest margin that month, by any given supplier/manufacturer. Go back in 3 months from now, something else will be the best.

They will always push ProComp because it is their custom brand...

At least you did some research before you actually had it installed. 2"-2.5" is plenty for 35's. I bet they never even mentioned gearing or the performance drop you will see from running 35's.

Cancel it. I pieced together my lift on Northridge 4x4. 4wp will push procrap as hard as they can. I ran 35s with no lift for a while. Only thing i did was put on flat fenders. And boom KILL SHOT Neways Goodluck

Run, run, run.

I bought a procomp. Biggest mistake of my life. Te only thing left is the rear track bar bracket, and even that is only days away from being gone.

Don't do it twice - save your money or do whatever it takes to invest in a GREAT system the first time.

I figure this pro comp mess of a suspension cost me about $3k of unwarranted money.

Pro comp = Pro Crap. There's so many more dealers out there that get you a better lift for the right price. Even if the new kit is more expensive, those dollars should be well spent on a solid lift, not on a lift from a mediocre company that catches eyes just because there's "Pro" in the name.

I'd cancel it.

Def don't need that much lift for 35's. If that is all you want, take that money and buy a solid 2.5 like a synergy or rock krawler. Just do a little research and find what suits your needs not what someone behind a desk is pushing.

I installed a 2.5" Rock Krawler lift with Bilstein 5100's(after all the needed hardware the total was $980) about 3 months ago. I am very happy with the lift and ride. I am running 295/70R17(33.4) Nitto's and it looks good. I drive a JKUR. I ordered it all from Northridge4x4. They have great customer service.
