Heads up to anyone who is looking into the skyjacker lift kit. Here is what happened to me.
After one year front end started to sag and would bottom out very easily.
After 30,000 miles the lower strut mount threads stripped out and the strut came loose, during normal driving. They will not warranty this part. And they are $90 bucks each to replace. I bought the lift through 4wheel online and when they called Skyjacker directly to look into the warrant they stated they won't replace it since it is normal wear and tear. So I will never buy anything from a company that states that a strut mount breaking loose after just 30,000 miles is normal wear and tear.

Thanks for the heads up. I was already leaning towards the OME but that definitely just made my mind up now
