Does Dave at Northridge deal with the Canadian site too?
Was looking at the same exact lift kit the past few days and really on the brink of picking it up.
Sorta on the fence right now that I saw a JK with flat flares which looks amazing and adds so much more clearance.

Just find it funny how the flares cost almost the same price as the lift kit.

I went with the coil lift and shock adapters. Figured my shocks are still good. May as well keep'em and replace them with something awesome when they wear out.

What do you guys recommend? Help meeee!!!!!
I bought the tereflex 3" lift kit with springs and shocks. Itn ended up giving me a little over 4" of lift. I ended up yanking the springs and replaced them with a tereflex spring that was one inch shorter. Its been over a year now and the springs have settled to exactly 3 inches (with bumpers and wench). If I were to do it over, I would piece it and stay away from the kit. There were somethings in the kit that are great, like the rear swaybar relocation bracket, but other things like the swaybar connects that are just junk!
The shocks are too long as well. I ended up spending more money to get what I wanted. Definately worth researching every part of the kit!

You can get the kit with just the adapters to use your existing shocks, but unless you have a rubi I'd suggest looking at bilsteins 5100s or the TF shocks

I second that one. I got mine with the adapters and am starting to regret it. New shocks are on the express train to the top of the next mod list.

3rd That !
You can get the complete Kit springs/shocks.
Add some front discos and you will see how the new shocks make a huge change to the "flex" ability of your JK.
