I have never run a skyjacker, but you will find a lot more negative comments here than positive. Be sure to read the reviews/replies closely, so you can pick out the ones from the people who have actual first-hand experience with these lifts. (and toss out the ones saying they suck just to say they suck...)

Started out with Skyjacker lift, only kept it for a few months.
Went with 3" Teraflex lift which I really liked, highly recommend.
Finally, a year later installed front and rear ORE coilovers. Primo!!

I have a skyjacker 3.5 and it rides like it costs. i just needed a cheap lift at the time so I got this.. it's one damn stiff ride. as soon as I get money, I'm gonna get a more expensive, better quality lift

I do want to get the tera flex but..... Still searching I feel you though

I willl say I ran Skyjacker on my 01 TJ and liked it a lot, but the JK lifts are not as good. Great people though.

I run Rusty's 3.25 and really like it, but there are great forum sponsors from Teraflex, Full Traction, Rock Crawler, RC, Rancho and EVO that can answer specific questions.

Call David at Northridge for the best pricing!
