SKYJACKER value flex lift ?
So i bought some wheels/tires from a guy and he gave me a 4" skyjacker suspension lift for my JK that he had on his.2010. Anyway i dont have any installation instructions so i downloaded some off their website, but the part #'s dont match. They are the correct part, but the number is a couple off from the instructions. Anyone have any experience with this lift? Id like to install it myself and im able to, but i want to make sure ive got the right stuff first.....this was the closest kit i found with the most number matching. Ive read that sometimes manufacturers will change part #'s, but im unsure why. heres the closest one i could find as far as the part matching up.

I've never seen a kit that includes both adjustable control arms and cam bolts. Skyjacker is known for having really stiff coil springs and weak bushings. If the guy gave you the kit, there is probably a reason why. I would look into either a Rock Krawler or Teraflex kit.

The Component Box the Cam Bolts (CAM700) came in originally is used in another kit for the 4 Door that does not include arms as well as the kit you have. So nothign to worry about.
Should include a track bar relocations and Bracket Braces you won't find in any other kit, nice peace of mind.
The Coils are actually better know for thier close to OE rate. I have run them in a few Jeeps over the years and love the ride.
The Rod Ends are rebuildable and greasable. A very nice change from close to 5 years ago. You can get replacement kits for $10-$15 from Skyjacker.
The bushings are the same urathane you get with most any other just a differant color. If they are bad, again a cheap replacement and readily available.
Install and enjoy....any more questions call thier Tech Line, thay have always been helpful and friendly.

I haven't looked at your link yet because I'm on my phone, but I have and do run the 4" skyjacker kit for years and have never had a problem with it, now it may not be the smoothest ride out there but it gets the job done.
