IFS or SFS Lift - read before voting - KJ owners only please

Okay, I think this was done a long time ago, but since there are many new people that have come and gone, doesn't hurt to do it again.

Please, if you do not own a KJ, do not vote. It will skew the results.

Voted for the lesser. But there are so many variables out there that can cause that decision to change otherwise....all depends on...blah blah blah....if this if that.....i would pay for the more expensive one if it was fundable and would actually be everything I would need...no less than...

Realistically if I were to wait on my lift another year or so...I would definitly wait for the first, cheaper option. 2.5" is right where I would like to be...but I want a suspension lift...and if they offered a great 4" IFS lift I would most likely save my money in the long run and go with the additional 1.5". IMO, I hope All J's decides to make this option....

IFS without a doubt...

I would hope it would be without a cradle drop but even if it involves a small cradle drop you still get more clearance than an SFA rig.

I voted for the lesser as well but to be honest I would like to see 4.5 to 5"

Lesser only b/c of the success Ive seen on the WK's.

In the later days of my Jeeps life, I would go with a SFA.

I am only guessing on the price ranges. From what I have read about the requirements for an SFS and IFS, it seems these would be fairly close ranges, especially if you look at the possibility that it would take a company to do the install for more people than those DIYers.

I want both!!!!!!!!!!First the IFS then later down the road(when I win the lottery) the SFA.

I wouldn't even think about a SFA if it was 4"s. If only 4"I would perfer the ifs so I'm not going to vote.

If it was a well-designed IFS lift (proper CV range of motion, steering solution, etc) with full height coils and struts/shocks (no spacers) I'd be forking out the cash, especially if someone figured out how to remedy the weak ankles: the lower arm/balljoint problem. Then all we'd need is a better front dif housing.

It's gotta be solid. The front diff scares me with the diesel.

A post on Jeep KJ Country says that the SFA lift conversion will run about $7000 and $3000 to install.

My estimates for this poll were way off.

SFA all the way! :twisted:

I'd wait twice as long to save twice as much money in order to get a SFA kit.

I've always said that I would really like a 4-5 inch IFS lift that is reliable and costs a reasonable amount ($1500-$2500 depending on what's included).
