question for the experience people (lift)
Im looking for a 3"-4" lift for a 2007 unlimited 4 door, Im looking at the rusty lift or the rough country 4" lift there both around the same price but is the rough country complete? and also with the RC lift can you use the factory drive shaft if the jeep is a pavement baby? and if anyone has picks of these lifts on 35x12.50 would u please post them so I can see what they look like... thanks for the input

Not so sure on those lifts, there is a write up on the rouch conutry lift in the project jk section. I have a 4 inch superlift on my JK. On a four door, I think you will be fine with the stock drive shafts. I replaced mine due to trail damage, there wasn't any vibration or anything when i was running them. If it's just on the road, you should be fine.
I think all lifts of that height will look about the same. i think the question you should be asking is ride quality. I find the superlift to be about the same as stock. My OME lift rode alot better, but I needed more lift so I changed.

I have a 4in Superlift also. Auto tranny. If you don't plan to disco your swaybar links offroad, you'll be fine, but that's not fun really. If you do disco, well, you'll probably rip the boot on your stock ds and risk hitting your tranny pan also. I changed my frt ds before this happened.

It works fine with auto transmission on a 4 door. I have been running this lift since a little before christmas. You are gonna run into problems if you disconnect front sway bars. Other than that you should be fine as long as you keep the sway bar connected. MKJeep explained that pretty good. You do need to get a set of adjustable front lower control arms. That is what I am running on mine. It is a pretty easy lift to install. The pitman takes a little work removing, but other than that it is very simple. You can run it with the stock control arms for a while. I did for almost a month. Your steering just want snap back as quick. It rides fine to me, but I have never rode in another lifted 4 door jeep. Good luck with what you decide.
