Default Anybody runnin 3" skyjacker coils?

I can buy a set of Skyjacker 3" coils from a guy in my club but I want 4" or 4.5" and I have been told that the skyjackers actually give 4" or 4.5" of lift. Anybody know if this is true? Thanks

I have always heard skyjackers are pretty dead on new but settle some and end up a tad shorter..I read this on I think another forum but don't quote me as I have no experience personally.. I do know that everyone I have heard that ran skyjacker did not like their stuff...

That was my impression aswell. I have always known them to be a very soft coil.

If you are wanting coils only head over to summitracing.com and get a set of their 4" superlift coils..I have a bud who runs them and his jeep rides very well and he's had em for almost 2 years and no sag...I think they are like $100 per set new..

Here's a link...

I have heard the same stuff from to soft to just not liked. I can get a pair of TJ front that are like 4.5 that a guy has and said they gave him 3.75 or 4. Anybody know of this?

Dont use f150 coils, that would make for one stiff ride. More popular is v8 zj coils with a spacer.
