What kind of 6 inch lift has brackets on the frame and front axle to keep the angles down on the control arms? It also has heim joints on the control arms and track bar. I don't have any pics but its on a cherokee that I am gonna buy this weekend.

MOST of them come that way or are made that way.

rubicon express has them too as stock parts in their 5.5 inch extreme shortarm kit.

what colour are the control arms? rubicon express are grey, and the drop brackets are a sophisticated 2 piece design that extends the rail to bolt with the cross member mounts. and they don't have RCX cut into them.

Finally figured it out. It is a 8 inch skyjacker lift and I am now the proud owner of it.

I don't care too much for Skyjacker systems but their drop brackets are the biggest beafiest you are going to find. RE go back farther than RC but the Skyjacker one piece design is pure beef.

How well do the skyjacker lifts hold up? Something is making a popping noise on the front end.

I checked it out today and I have a bad heim joint on one of the lower control arms. Is there anything else out there that is better than the heim joint?
