Skyjacker 2 - 4.5 Inch Lift Kits

Pretty disappointed with this kit. Issues encountered: -The black paint flakes off pretty easily. -the kit came with one shock that looked like the box had been opened and then taped shut, and turned out a bushing was missing. -Front shock boots provided seem to be way too short. -Rear leaf spring u-bolts that came with kit were not long enough. Had to get some new bolts fabricated. -One of the rear shocks was unable to be mounted since it comes in contract with the axle housing. I will have to make adjustments to the wedge shim on the leafs or weld new brackets on the axle housing at a better angle. -Major issue was the driver's side radius arm would not clear the front differential / i-beam. I cut as much metal from the i-beam as I could without getting into the aluminum diff service hinge; the arm sill won't clear it. Even with these modifications, the radius arm clearance needs to be at least 1/2" deeper to allow for it to bolt up properly. I had multiple back and forth contact with 4WP over 9 months to try to resolve this issue, basically calling them every week for updates, but kept getting the same response that Skyjackers was ignoring their requests, constantly coming up with excuses for why their technical guy wasn’t available, etc. I’m quite fed up and can’t believe it would take this long to get actual help from Skyjackers. Had this been a truck I needed for work, I would have been quite screwed. And they don’t even have a toll free number to call from Canada, just a Louisiana number! The positives: -4WP did provide me a new bushing to replace the missing one. -4WP also reimbursed me for the u-bolts I had to get fabricated. 4WP seemed to genuinely want to try to help me solve the issue with the radius arm but Skyjackers was giving them the run around, not returning their calls or emails, and even making claims that they had never heard of this issue other than on Rangers that were in accidents. Just look at Ranger forums online and you’ll see that this issue is more common than they think and it could have easily been solved if they provided that extra 1/2” clearance. I will definitely be staying away from Skyjackers for my future projects. So many things wrong with this kit for the price.

I purchased 2.5 in for 05 Jeep Liberty after installing entire lift kit, mechanic noticed one front shock leaking, spoke to sales rep from California, I had to pay $130 to get a new shock and never received rufund after I returned the factory defective shock to California distribution office. After mounting new BFG tires and replaced entire suspension system, the ride is very comfortable and great improvement on handling and off-road performance. Install was problem free. Just the additional out of pocket cost to remove/replace leaking front shock. Thank you

Quality product from a great company. Installation is simple, but know that the included instructions aren't amazing. Things like orientation of end links, directions of bolts (nut on inside/outside), etc aren't there. So if you tend to not pay attention, like me, you'll want to have vids/additional guides on hand. There are some great YT videos out there though that give some of those good tips and tricks. I didn't need to disconnect my drag link (after struggling to for 1+ hours to) or my driveshaft to install the front but YMMV. I also ended up needing an adjustable track bar and front geometry correction bracket (or adj lower control arms) after installing this and 35" tires on my '18 Sport S - Definitely not any negative indictment of the lift, but I do think it ended up lifting my Jeep a bit more than listed as I don't currently have any added weight on the front (like a bumper or skids). So keep that in mind as you plan your build. Ride after getting geometry squared away is better than stock, imo. Really, really pleased. Even adding the track bar and GCB, I feel like the value stands out. Definitely recommended.
