Price: $720.00
Pros: Ride quality gives solid feedback to the driver without being harsh.
Cons: Installation instructions leave a lot to be desired if someone is new to doing their own work. Requires re-use of much of the old hardware.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Overall, this system is well worth the money. It is definitely a budget minded lift in that it requires the re-use of much of the old hardware. That being said, it includes all the high-wear essentials like bushings and even some higher end perks like a stainless steel brake line extension and spring eyes with military wrap.
The ride is great by my standards, but I like a solid feeling suspension. It provides very good feedback to the driver and reduces a lot of the "buckboard" feel that is inherent to fully leaf sprung vehicles.
While a slip yoke eliminator kit is listed by Rubicon Express as optional for this kit, I would highly recommend planning on doing one as soon as possible after lifting your vehicle.
All in all having the opportunity to do it over again, I would still purchase this kit.

Pros: More than 4" of total lift, great flex so far
Cons: Took a while to break in
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Rubicon Express did a great job with this lift. It is the most complete kit for the price. It started off with a very stiff ride, but has since gotten more comfortable.

Comments: Great lift kit. Rides a little rough, but that is to be expected with leaf springs and a short wheelbase. Easy to install, very complete kit.

Comments: everything was great the lift looks fantastic. i had problems with my front brake line extensions they are hard line extensions and my old lines were rusted to crap. so i had to replace all the new lines and purchased sky jacker soft line extensions for 200$. the other problem i had was for the rear leafs maybe the stock shackles were'nt long enough but i had to slightly compress the springs to have them fit in. as well as the rear shocks i had to fabricate new bottom mounting brakets for the shocks as the old bracket would not allow my shocks to fit cause the axle was in the way

Comments: After it broke in, it works great. However, since I've added alot of weight, and plan to add more, I will want to upgrade to a heavier duty spring.
