I don't have any pros or cons for you, so I'll be interested in what the experts say, but what kit are you looking at? Might be one I'd like to try...

If you are really on a budget, i would check out Rough countrys 3" lift, the series 2, which comes with shocks/AAL/9000 shocks/control arms.

but you are still going to need some stuff though, new u bolts, maybe a TC drop...

I mean heres the list of stuff I bought last week for about a 3.5-4inch lift

Rubicon Express 3.5 coils
RE full leafs
RE adj. track bar
RE Ubolts
RE TC drop

from Rough country

sway bar links
brake line relocation brackets
lower control arms
hydro 8000 shocks


this is just for about going 3.5, but i read it sits about 4 or so.

but if you need to do it on a budget i would check into that and not go with spacers if you can avoid it.

but I am no lift expert, just did tons of research. and bought what i thought I needed for a proper lift, or starter lift.

for 299 you can get this and its a little cheaper

its the whole 9 yards and theres no blocks, spacers or shackels so if you want to you can go bigger
