I'd say that atleast a third of the lifted jeeps on the forum have either used that before or are currently using it. Are you looking into the add a leaf or full leaf pack lift kit? I wouldn't recommend add a leaf if your stock leaf springs are sagging AT ALL. The add a leaf will just start sagging. If your springs are in good shape then you could go for the add a leaf. The full pack will give a much better ride and may last longer in the long run. Although I'm very pleased with my zone add a leafs.

Ok thank you. That is what i thought but i wasn't sure. I forgot to mention that I'm 16 and have little money so I maybe you have an idea of a kit that is less expensive. I don't think I need long travel or long arm kits cause I live in a desert so I will be doing a lot of trail riding and not too much rock crawling. Also do you think that it would be ok to do 32" tires without regearing? Thanks in advance!

I want a bigger lift but its gonna be my daily driver and i dont want to get any rattles at high speeds. That being said I want to be able to offroad with it at the same time so I'm trying to find an inexpensive kit that is still good quality. I saw the Rough Country stuff in a magazine and it was cheap so I figured if its in a magazine it cant be that bad. Also if I got the 3" kit I was gonna get shackles for an extra 1" or 2" of lift to get some clearance. Obviously I'm new at this so anyone who could please help!

Well... Everything. Springs will give you the actual height but you don't want/can't run stock shocks on a 4" lift. These are $200 for the set http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...ducts_id=88086
