The factory Rubicon suspension was fabulous and offered great on-road manners, but (I'm sure I'll get responses for this) it was a little too mushy for me.
The Skyjacker setup felt just right from the moment I took it down off the jackstands and did a testdrive. Not too stiff....not too soft.
Alot of guys around here run Bilsteins in their rigs to compensate for the "washboard" dirt roads we get during/after snow season, but I've been satisfied with the Skyjacker Hydros.
So to answer your question...I like them and I think you'll be pleased too.

I can't comment on the Skyjacker shocks alone, since mine came packaged with the Skyjacker coils, but I have been VERY pleased with the entire setup so far.

You are welcomed to do it in my garage. I have all the tools neeeded. Air tools, jack stands, spring compressor, etc. If you want to do it Sunday, I'll be available around 1PM.
I did my suspension lift myself at the house.
JK-Rubi,
Do you need to install your brake lines? If can bring in on Sunday as well.

I need Tire Advice!!!
I plan on making the dive back in 35" tires, but I can't decide which ones to go with. I really like the KM2's that Jeff has, but I think the Mud Grapplers are really badass too. I could go with Hankook's and save a few bucks or Kuhmo, but they are directional. Then there's Firestone and Dunlop down at the bottom of my list. Anyone have any useful input??

I just leased a 09 Honda Civic to drive to work and it is getting 31 mpg in the 2nd fill up! 30 plus MPG is amazing!
