Re: lift kits
my $.02 - go suspension - more $$$ but better in the long run and no chance of the body(tub) shifting- oh and for lifts NO PRO-COMP!!!!!!!! (trust me from experience on my last YJ) Pro-Comp + good looks but almost ZERO flex - i really recommend the Hellcreek lift i have clears the 33x12.5 BFG M/T's well if you go w/hellcreek remember - 4" ONLY!!!!!! (important note!)

Re: lift kits
I dont know about Hellcreek lifts but LVrockcrawler seems to know what he is talking about. If you do decide on that and need tires also, go to www.tirepackage.com They are the cheapest place i have found and ship very quickly.

Re: lift kits
seems its easier to find out what NOT to buy.... heard good things about both the RE and rustys... like i said = easier to find what to avoid....
