Default SKYJACKER???

I just wanted to know what people thought about Skyjacker lift kits because I never hear anyone talk about them, its always RE or Rusty.

I have a Skyjacker 3" lift and added coil spacers and shackles. Personaly
I never had a problem with it.

The reason i'm asking is cause I was looking at the 6" lift kit they have for the XJ and it seems to be high quality.

Just wanted to hear some opinions I know they might be a bit pricy

from what ive seen they are very good lifts but kinda pricey, you can get the same or better quality lift from rough country, rustsys, rubicon express, for less money

I think it was 2" rough country kit... 2" coil spacers(not aluminum) and 2" shackles cost me about 100$

I have had two sets of Skyjacker front coils. I take care of my own rear springs so I don't buy anyones leaf packs. The three inch coils worked well with my add a leaf of unknown origin. I thought they were a little stiff, but they flexed well and the Jeep handled well on the highway. My second set was a set of 6" coils that are really closer to 7.5" No they won't settle. Had them for a year. They are a little stiff, but handle well on the highway also.
