It's 4" Superlift (new coils, new spring). Took 7 hrs to install w the help of a mechanic. He is a good freind of mine who loves doin this stuff. If you live near philly and need a good mechanic for lifts or gears or anything I'll get you in touch with him.
It rides better than the factory susspension. I still need an alignment, some u bolts and to extend the diff vent-tubes. The ride is way better though, 5X times better, but i need to test it off road after all that stuff is done of course.
I can now fit 35's!!!!!!!...........should I?

What engine? 5 sp? Gear ratio?

35's are big meats for a stock drivetrain. If it's a daily driver I would think you may want to go a little smaller unless you plan on re-gearing.

i would not go larger than 33"... since it is a DD, you want some sort of practicality... plus... you'll rub under flex... you want somewhere for the tires to go when you flex

Very nice! Do you have disconnects? You really have some room for flex now, take advantage of it!

What year is your TJ?
