Stage 1 4 inch Suspension Lift |

I recently had a nationally known shop install a Stage 1 4 inch lift with ES3000 shocks on my 2004 Wrangler. What a huge dissapointment in the harshness of the ride, not to mention the front-end shake (death wobble) that starts around 55 mph. Lots of issues, heading back to the shop on Monday to reconsider and try a Skyjacker Softride kit with a 2 1/2 inch lift with Hydra shocks...it can only get better from here. Given this Jeep is a daily driver 95% of the time, I would not recommend. What was I thinking?? |

Yes, if your mechanical and have worked on cars before, you can do this install with some help from friends. However if you're like me, and this is the largest most complicated install you have done, let a pro do it. The instructions are horrible and vague. Time wise it took forever, also I highly recommend getting adjustable upper control arms, and a rear track bar. I was not able to get the factory rear track bar even with the relocation mount. Over all I am happy with my install job, rides good on the trails and looks great. |

Pro Comp stage 2 with boxed lower arms and mx6 shocks |

I personally installed this kit myself with the physical help of my brother. First off the kit rides and handles very well for a lifted short wheel base truck, the mx6 shocks are great and are fun to tune to your preferance. But, the downside is the installation. The instructions are absalute crap!!!! Nothing is marked and even in one section when your working on the front control arm it says to use the rear control arm for the front. There were holes that should have been there and weren't and brakets that had to be shaved and so on. It also took some time to figure out what part was what cause the labels did not match anything from the instructions. It took 8 hours labor and 14 hours deciphering the encripted instuctions to install. Give yourself plenty of time and brakes to relax from the frustraition. Oh, and a tip- the pitmen are is a pain to remove, i broke a rented remover from kragen. Autozone caries a better pitmen arm remover for about $16 bucks, (the brand is of the puller is - OEM) just loosen slowly and use a penetrating lubricant to help ease it off.
This is a great kit installed just a b#$*h to INSTALL. |

i purchased my 4" pro comp suspension lift 1 month after buying my 04' rubicon may of 2004.. i am very pleased w/ it.. one problem i have are the lower control arm bushings wearing out after doing a lot of flexing in the front.. but for 50 dollars new bushings can be bought.. the ride quality is very good as far as i'm concerned.. it's a JEEP.. flex is great when runnin' good 3 & 4 trails w/ 33" tires.. overall, it's a good short arm lift.. |

I recently purchased the stage 1 4inch lift for my 05 Rubicon. Good lift for the price. Looks good, the only downfall that I have for the lift is that it is very rough riding. I would highly recommend upgrading to better shocks. I have the Pro Comp ES1000 shocks and there terrible. |

Good basic 4 inch kit |

I have now had the kit for about 20K miles. I have some sage in the rear and it is noticable. I also have a heavy rear tire carrier on it too, so that is not a fair test. I have some minor "squeeking" from one of the rear arms, which are not greasable. I also have had Good Year tire shop and 4 Wheel parts be unable to align the rear as one of the arms is slightly shorter than the other! The MX6 shocks are FANTASTIC. The adjustability has been great and I'd buy these shocks by themselves. The kit performs fine and gives light flex but does a good job of keeping the tires down. Overall, a good inexpensive kit that does the job. |

4" Pro-Comp SA lift |

I have had my 4" Pro-Comp Stage 1 lift now for 30,000 mi. - 1 1/2 years now, and have taken my Wrangler Rubicon across California, through Baja, Mexico and to 4 wheeling spots with my 4WD club - The Rubicon Owners. With the Pro-Comp MX6 shocks, I have been able to walk...rather, flex my way through any level 3+/5 trail. Big Bear, Anza Borrego, 29 Palms, Baja have been no problem. The springs have not lost any lift height over the past 19 months, and on-road handling is spot-on. |
