Pro Comp stage II 4" lift
I'm looking at lifts and I haven't seen much forum traffic regarding Pro Comp's 4" Stage II kit. It seems like a complete kit with adjustable uppers and all. Plus those lowers look very stout. The parts are rebuildable plus they have a lifetime warrantee.
Am I missing something here? Is there something specific that is making people shy away from that kit?
Is there anyone here who has this exact kit and has wheeled with it?
Is there a better 4" kit out there?
I've looked at the FT, RE, TF kits that were similar in size/price so I feel Like I have a pretty good handle on those. Just trying to get more info on this last one before I make a decision.
Sorry if this stuff has been covered already. I did a search (honest
) but I noticed the "pro" and the "II" got dropped because they were too short/common

They are out there. I'm not going to post a link out of respect for the forum rules.(they are not a site sponsor) Just Google "Wrangler Pro Comp stage II 4" lift" without the quotes and you'll get plenty of hits. You'll know it when you see a picture of the kit because it'll have control arms.

Were they the boxed arms like the JK arms?
What didn't you like about them?
Were there quality issues?

Well, since there wasn't a flood of negative responses warning me to stay away from this kit I think I'm gonna go ahead and go with this one.
I was a bit concerned about having a driveshaft angle problem with a 4" lift on a 2dr but then I noticed it was a 4" front/2" rear lift so it seems like the rear should be ok based on other people's experiences with lifting the rear 2".
I'll deal with the front driveshaft if it becomes a problem.
The only other concern I have about this kit is the relo bracket for the rear track bar. But it looks like that's a problem with just about every other kit out there. Once I get the lift installed I'll take a look at that issue and see what (if anything) needs to be done about it.
Maybe it's just a matter of shoring up the factory bracket or an adj. trackbar?
