Hardly buddy I got a skyjacker 3" on my zj with ZERO issues. I know a couple of guys that work at the skyjacker shop here. There's about 6 xjs around here with skyjacker lifts I can't speak for the xj kits but as for the zj no room for complaints .

I can't speak for zj lifts either..but i went to look at a jeep with a skyjacker lift, rode like a dump truck, bushings were all about shot, 3 of 4 shocks were leaking, and the guy said it was a 6 month old lift.
They also seem like they are geared more towards truck suspensions.
When I think of quality sky jacker doesn't come to mind.

As far as quality I'd consider: old man emu re, rock Krawler, Clayton, bds.

I agree there but you have no idea how hard that jeep was wheeled I can't tell you first hand when your about to get rid of a vehicle you tend to beat the **** out of it. Also the op wasn't looking for quality but for value which isn't coming from one of those brands he would pay a good chunk.

Never a fight just think of them as heated discussions were all passionate about jeeps.
