So can you speak to any problems at all? Squeaky bushings, drive issues etc?

Believe it or not, ProComp Stage 1. Yes, it's not a true 4 inch lift. I'm about 3.25 with bumpers and winch rolling on 35s. Can't say I've had any problems with it. Been wheelin as much as possible and still no issues.

no problems other than it not being a true 4" lift. It has excellent road manners and performs well off road. The kit dosent flex much but I didnt get all the extra shit to make it flex out cause I dont rock climb.

Default Stupid question

Doesn't the lift measurement depend on the weight of all the additional stuff you add on, like bumpers, tire carriers, 35 inch wheels etc.? Or, put another way, is it possible that those who claim that the lift gives them less than 4 inches took their measurement without discounting the compression due to the additional weight?

i did loose about an inch all the way round with the bumpers, full size spare, and winch. I am adding some coil springs spacers to make up for that loss.

Yup, not all lifts give what the say. Pro comp 4" gives 3" of lift, my advice is go with the Teraflex 3" lift, it gives 4" of lift and is a more complete lift

Agree completely I am very happy with my pro comp lift but if I had to do it over again I would get a Teraflex kit.

Then there was the love affair for TF...all these posts and not one mention of TF kits?
i will sell mine CHEAP to anyone who likes the kit - just ping me!
