Skyjacker lift kits?

Rubicon express is a better kit overall and are easier to add to in my opinion. Having said that, my friend has a skyjacker lift on his xj and has no complaints. Are you going to install it yourself or have a shop do it? KH

I will be installing it myself with the help of an experianced friend.

Thanks,

Carl

Great, that is the only way to do it, you learn so much more.3" lifts are easy. Spray all your u bolts, shock mounts each day for a week before with pb blaster. Broken rusty or stripped stuff is the biggest thing usually. 3" front coils probably dont need a spring compressor to get them in. front bump stops often thread into your front spring perch and can strip easy. Brake lines can round off easy unless you use a good set of line wrenches on them. Most likely you will be adding a longer one to your back line. You shoulnt need an sye at that height but if you can get one it sure is better. Make sure and get it aligned after the lift. Your toe will most likely be out and may eat your tires until you fix it. Setting the toe yourself at home is really easy and is something you should consider. I run my xj with about 1/8" of toe in done myself with a tape measure. skyjacker and re are both good brands. Thats a nice present you got. Does the left you are getting come with full new spring packs or just add a leafs? If you can afford it, I suggest buying full leaf packs. the add a leafs (aal) sag within a year or so. If not, you can wait a bit to add those. Does your new kit come with a track bar? I just redrilled and moved mine over but I have a new adjustable track bar waiting to go on. recheck your leaf spring u bolts a few times especially after a few months. Mine came loose fast. The RE and skyjacker quick disconnects that come with their lifts really suck. Most people including me love their jks quick disconnects.

Hey Kevin!

The kit I'll be buying has full rear leaf packs and a "Track bar bracket". Not sure what an "SYE" is? Does 699.99 sound like a decent price for 3" front coils, 3" rear leaf packs, u bolts, , track bar bracket, 4 Softride Hydro shocks? This is at

Locally, I've heard up to $850 for just the kit.

Thanks for the tips!

Carl

Thanks, Bill.

Hi Carl,

Here's a lower price for the same kit:

Just for reference, here's a quote I got last year from Mesa4x4.com for RE lifts:

5.5 Inch XJ Extreme Duty Suspension Lift RE-RE6200 $960.95 4.5 Inch XJ Super-Flex Suspension Lift (full springs) RE-RE6130 $695.95 4.5 Inch XJ Super-Flex Suspension Lift (add-a-leaf) RE-RE6111 $534.95 3.5 Inch XJ Super-Flex Suspension Lift (full springs) RE-RE6030 $477.95 3.5 Inch XJ Super-Flex Suspension Lift (add-a-leaf) RE-RE6010 $313.95 3.5 Inch XJ Super-Ride Suspension Lift RE-RE6020 $239.95 2.0 Inch XJ Standard Suspension Lift (with shocks) RE-RE6160 $149.95

Note that the arms on your standard Skyjacker kit have rubber bushings on both ends. For about the same price as the JC301KS (difference is in the included skyjacker shocks), the RE6030 gives you arms with a rebuildable 'flex' joint superior to the pricier Skyjacker 'single flex' kits. I found that the best prices for RE were on dealer sites that said "too low to list, call or email for price".
