The general consensus around here is to avoid the SJ name..

i dont recommend RC i have had a lot of problems with them and there control arm bushings also people have had problems with their shocks and i think everything.
Bottom line its your suspension which a key factor of your jeep and you pay for what you get so do it right the first time

i've known several people to run a skyjacker kit and all of them are now running something else. do yourself a favor and stay away from their products.

I had mine on for 15 thousand miles before selling my 2dr for a 4dr. I never had any trouble with mine but mine never left the pavement either. You will also need atleast front control arms to get your alignment correct. Find out if the kit uses cam bolts

You want a 'complete' kit, but you choose Cam Bolts and Brackets?

What size tire are you wanting to run? Do you really have a need for a 4-5" lift? Or would running 37's on a 2.5-3" lift work?


If you want the huge lift, start figuring out what all of the components do, budget for two new driveshafts, and figure out if those Cams will adjust the pinion for those new shafts...

I already have a 2.5 inch lift. I'm going with 35's. And the only reason I " need " a four inch lift is to please myself. I run front and back bumpers on my jku and the 2.5 just isnt high enough for me.

Works for me. Be sure to budget for a set of adjustable control arms for each new driveshaft.
