If you really want to get into the 3-4in lift under $1K, I would say your best bet would be going with the Zone Offroad 4in lift. It seems like a pretty complete kit. Others that have installed it have given it favoriable reviews for the $. - Coil springs designed to give a full 4" of lift while maintaining a factory style ride. Our coils are 2door/4door specific, so be sure to select the proper application. - A front adjustable track bar is included to properly center the front axle - Cam washers are included to correct front end alignment - Rear extended sway bar links are included. These links come with urethane bushings to increase performance and reduce body roll. - The factory rear links are then used in the front. - A rear track bar relocation system is included to perfectly center the axle under your JK - 2" bump stop extensions are included to protect your vehicle while still increasing wheel travel - Brake line relocation brackets are supplied to allow for the dramatic increase in wheel travel - New Zone front and rear shocks are included that are valved specifically for your JK It's $560 and then throw in a couple other items to top it off such as the exhaust spacers if you have a 2012+ ($42)
I would say
3.5 coils $200-$300
Geo brackets $100
Rear TB bracket $100
Front Superlift track bar $100
Front/rear swaybar links $150
Bump stops (hockey pucks $10$20)
Shocks Rancho 5000x 31/32 rebate ends soon $150 ($200 without rebate)
Right around $1000 give or take

Complete? Hardly.
Cam washers are junk. No raised front track bar. No flipped drag link.
Yuk.

So you have a better suggestion for a 3-4in lift under $1K? Not my choice but it fits the bill what the OP is looking for and some of those components can be upgraded and still be within his budget. 5 stars on Amazon reviews from those who have actually purchased it. Not everyone can budget for a $3K-$4K RK or MC 3.5" lift.

My point was simple. It is NOT a complete kit. And that cam washers are junk.

So if they added a flip drag link and geo brackets instead of the cam bolts they would still be under $1K and then it would be a complete kit?

Is there a difference between a "raised" front track bar and the track bar listed on item #11? It would seem odd to include a track bar that was insufficient on such a high-end kit.
BTW, the game changer 6 pack is $4k (yuk), whereas the gamechanger rocksport/ARB is a much better value at $2.4k-$2.7k... I'm not hearing a lot of complaints about these kits.
