I have the Skyjacker lift. It's been on for about a year. I've done Moab and Tellico with it. The ride quality is fine. The articulation off road is fine. The only issue is that you need to fab up a little bumpstop for it since it is taller than OME or Rusty's. At least the early production kits were taller. On some KJs the Skyjacker front will allow the ball joint boot to hit the spring at full drop. All that is needed is small rubber piece attached to the top of the knuckle to act as a bumpstop.

Ditto!!!
Have had it on for about 12,000 miles. Have wheeled quite a bit. Although there is contact at full droop, I have not fabbed up a pad yet, and have had no problems.

Begin with the Y shaped rubber bumper for a boat trailer. This is the bumper for the bow of the boat. Cut off the tail of the Y creating a V with a flat bottom. The V is mated to the knuckle and secured with a hose clamp and plastic strap. Here is a photo.
