Anyone running Skyjacker 2.5 coil lift? I'm looking and info on them seem under represented on the site. I wanted to get a feel for how folks like it before just going between Rusty's & AllJ

Thanks in advance

Same here. Bought the Skyjacker because it was taller than Rusty's. The Frakenlift had not yet been invented.

I also have had the Skyjacker on since the Jeep came of the lot. (30k miles). Good ride lots of flex.

I thought the Skyjacker was kind of on the high side as far as cost. Not a lot of people seem to be running it also. If you are going to go that much go for the Frankinlift. Personnally for the money four OME heavy duty springs/ Rancho struts from All Js, rear Rancho shocks from Summit Racing about 450 dollars or so, with a small clevis and you are done. Great ride and no problems

i have found skyjacker to be a reputable company with high quality products. i find their platinum series shocks to be the best choice from their line up. i think that you are right in that they are under represented on this site and i personally plan on buying the 2.5 coil lift. don't get me wrong, the frankenlift and the rusty's lifts are fantastic, but i have had lots of great experiences w/ skyjacker in previous vehicles.

I also have the SkyJacker lift but my original coils are the non"soft ride" coils,I have changed many things since.I now run rancho struts and EMU rear shocks.The new softride coils are good unless you have a steel front bumber and winch.

When you getting that lift moose? :wink:

My tools have been feeling abandon lately. They need to do some more wrenching on a Jeep.

If I go with a Rusty's, I think she'll let me do it sooner (I must get only so many $ per month for toys), but she liked the ride in your Frankenlift.

After the Skink Sliders, I figured your tools needed a rest!

I am wondering how the Skyjacker compares with the RockKrawler 3.5X lift?... Does anyone know of anyone running the RockKrawler lift?

There is a bunch of "drit" on the RockKrawler lift on this site. do a search and you'll find your answers.

Yeah, but that was about the 7-up lift. The 3.5 lift from RK is still kinda new so I doubt there are many who are running it.
