I'm not sure why my posts keep going to the top of your thread...

This is what I put on mine. I like it so far. I am probably going to bring it up a little in the front once I get some weight on it.

Front
OME 927 HD springs - $152/pair @ All J's (appx $35 shipping, I forget)
Rancho RSX 17505 struts - $182/pair @ amazon.com (shipped)
Boiler's top plate shims - I'm selling these for $48 for 3/8", $40 for 1/4", shipped
Currently no clevis lift
Terraflex bump stops (not installed yet) - $42/pair (appx $8 shipping, I forget)
Current Measurement flare to center of wheel: 22"

Rear
OME 948 HD springs - $152/pair @ All J's (appx $35 shipping, I forget)
Rancho RSX 17004 shocks - $103/pair @ amazon.com (shipped)
two extra lower isolators per side (I bought uppers but forgot them at home - Tom's Used Parts Sales & Swap to the rescue...) - Unknown price. 4 upper isolators from stealership = $50
Hockey pucks for lower bumpstops - $8
Current Measurement flare to center of wheel: 23"

Total Cost for lift: $797

Other charges:
Shop charge for front strut assembly: $35
Alignment: $65

Both use the same springs , but a Franky uses spacers
but you can have a OME spring lift the same height as you can a Franky with some additions, ie top plate and clevis lift
So ........

I'm new to the off-road scene so I wanted to lift my KJ and was wondering if this was all i needed in a lift kit for it?

That sounds like a pretty good set up. I'd probably have to order a couple at a time while saving a couple paychecks (17 year old) so what do you suggest i get first?
