I'm still torn on which lift to get to clear 35s, and am now considering the Skyjacker 3.5 kit. I have a 2 door X, 6 speed, with the stock gears.

Here is what comes in the kit:

Attachment 16365

Front and Rear Coil Springs
Front and Rear Lower Control Arms
Front and Rear Bump Stops
Rear Track Bar Bracket
Rear Track Bar Brace
Front Track Bar Bracket
Pair of Brake Line Brackets
Front and Rear Nitro Shocks
Installation Hardware

Also want to get the Skyjacker quick disconnects and steering stabilizer.
Additionally, I am thinking of getting JKS adjustable track bars front and rear, I think this is a better set up, the JKS track bars seem more heavy duty.

I also am looking to get 17" Pro Comp 7089s and 35" BFG M/T.

Am I overlooking anything here? I have been looking around and it seems any lift over 3" would need major driveline changes? I'm guessing gears and longer driveshafts because of the angle, but would that need to be done right away?

Also, if anyone is running this lift on a 2 door, opinions about it, how it rides, etc. and pics would be great.

before you pull the trigger on this kit, i would recommend that you do a search for what others who have this kit think. i can tell you that i personally know of multiple people with this kit who are very unhappy with it as it has been responsible for breaking track bar mounts and has bushings that fail very quickly.

What he said ^.

Run adjustable front and rear track bars. JKS has a great deal on them at northridge4x4.

i have this lift. so far no issues. you will want some sway bar disco's and if you have the cash, get the jks adjustable bars. you will want the steering stabilizer for sure. the lift was super easy to install. it took about 5 hours start to finish. on my 2 door, the lift was more like 4 to 4.5 inches. looks really good. i have 33's on mine. they look good, but i think 35's would look better. so far, i haven't had any drive line issues.

playing around in local park. the rock that it is on is about 2.5 feet high. the jeep climbed up it with no rubbing at all.

i'm 6'1" and the jeep sits about 2" higher than i am tall.

anymore questions, let me know.
