All of those things above are some of the reasons why I am only going for 2.5-3" on the lift to run 35s on my 2 door.

I would honestly listen to planman"s advice. I couldn't have said it better myself. He's one smart cat!

if you really wanna go 4", then at least plan on eventually getting the above mentioned.

alright well I think it would be wise to listen to your guy's advice. I will really take this into consideration when choosing a lift kit. Thanks!

Be sure to check out our newest 3.5" kit. It was built from the ground up for ride quality, with new N2.0 shocks, OEM rubber bushings, spring based on OEM specs. It is also the most complete $499 kit on the market. It comes with a pair of front lower arms, so you can recenter your front wheels and correct caster.

And as always... if you dont like the kit you can send it back for a full 100% refund (within 60 days)

I know all the additional $$$ is a turn-off to get a 4" lift, but I think if I get a 2.5" or 3" I would regret it later on. So I think I'm willing to spend the extra $$$ and do it exactly the way I want it the first time and do it right.

So, considering how the Rancho Sport lift is incomplete, would it be a better idea to just buy a more complete lift kit rather than buying this one and then buying all the other parts seperately? Because even with the $500 price, it looks like I'll be spending a couple grand in the end anyways. Are there any other kits you guys have tried and liked?
