Stay away from RC, RE is a great kit, i would recommend saving for a good kit.

I have a rustys kit and it is ok at best, its great if you dont mind replacing shocks then Rustys is one of the better cheap kits imo.....but its still a cheap kit. Look at Iron rock offroad.

I've been looking around for some answers but can't really find much and everyone in this thread seems very knowledgeable.

i have a 3' procomp lift and am looking to go a little higher. I've been looking at spacers and relocations and all that. what is your opinion of what to use? and what all am i going to need to replace by doing so, such as break lines. i just got the lift kit so i don't want to sell it and buy a bigger lift so thats my only issue

Extended brake lines would be a good idea. You should also consider steering parts(track bar, steering stabilizer, etc.).

Ok so I looked at Iron Rock Offroad..and the 3.5" lift is 449.99 with a heavy duty track bar. So is IRO a good brand should i get their lift? Also with a 3.5" lift do i have to worry about a transfer case drop??

OK

Fergy- What exactly did your pro comp lift come with?

Mike-IRO would fit your needs quite nicley. About the tcase drop- im not 100 positive on a zj but on my xj i needed one at 3 inches. Worst case scenario is you do need it, go get 10 bucks worth of stuff from home depot or lowes and make one. All that is needed is longer studs for the cross member and some spacer (many ways you can do this.) but dont go bigger then 1 inch.
