the kit I got included the spacers and shocks. I was thinking about the coil spting switch but it would have cost 100 more I think that I might do that in the future but also use the spacers to get more of a lift - but that is far down the road and I have other plans to do first like fab up a front and rear bumper and a few other things that I have to slide past the wife (she is not into the jeep thing).

Yeah that is the only thing I do not like about this kit. It is great off-road but man on the road you feel every bump and I mean every bump!!

^ yea ive seen that lift before, i just dont want to spend more than $250-300 for a lift kit. I might be buying a 2" skyjacker lift kit from someone on here, just contemplating on getting a new kit so i cant screw it up lol. I really have no idea what im doing.

Its a coil lift... The front coils went to the back and new coils on the front. http://roughcountry.com/jeep_zj_3.html check it out.

cool man, did you need anything else besides that lift? like new brake lines, new bushings or anything? Steering stabilizer to get rid of death wobble?

I went with a Kevins Offroad BB + I got ahold of some Up Country Springs (they sit 1 inch taller than normal springs). It came with Skyjacker Nitro 8000 shocks. After installing everything it rides 100x better than stock. Really nice ride. My front trac bar and tie rod end were shot so I have some DW but that is being cured with an IRO Adjustable Double Shear Track Bar Conversion Kit and a new tie rod end. It sits about 3.5-4" of lift total. The lowest point of my Safari bar gained 4.5" ground clearance over stock. I paid $300 for the lift and am very happy with it! Just need bigger tires now.

Will this fit the GC ? Says it's for a tj will tj coils and shocks work?
​​​​​​Am I going to need to extend brake lines driveshaft pitch or anything for a 3.5 " lift? Considering going with the trailmaster 3.5. don't want to end up modifying everythjng. Just want to install and enjoy.
