    I was looking at both of these kits for my starting point of lifting my jeep and was wondering pros and cons of each kit from experiences from you guys because i can't quite decide for certain on either kit.

    I had a buddy with the skycrapper and it ended up sagging real bad over the years to almost 2".... the skycrapper is probably cheaper but id spend the extra and get the RE anyday over SJ

    pony up the extra $$ and go JKS. I ran RE lowers for a very short time. I got rid of them because the flex joint went bad in it and I don't like the jamb nut setup on those things. The stock style rubber bushings give a quieter ride.

    Skyjacker blows, though I am running their shocks since they are cheap and I only have a F>R swap.

    Go for RE, I've got some of their parts and they are very nice.

    I went with JKS Uppers and lowers, quicker discos, and track bars. Used RE springs and edlebrocks shocks...............very happy with ride and components. The ride great considering they're short arms.
