These Jeeps are easier to work on than you think. Don't get intimated. Follow one of Eddie's write ups to help you through. If you have the right tools, which I purchased from Harbor Freight very inexpensive including torgue wrench. You will learn more about your Jeep and be more satisfied you did it yourself.
Thanks Eddie!

These are my personal opinions on good quality products and the ones that I would/do use.
TeraFlex 2.5 Budget Boost Lift With Shock Extensions
http://www.quadratec.com/products/16190_0005_07.htm
The Teraflex spacer kit with shock extensions DOES require wheel spacers to clear the rear sway bar links.
The Teraflex spacer kit with shock extensions DOES come with a rear track bar relocation bracket
Parts you WILL need.
Spider Trax Wheel Spacers. You only need 1 set to clear the rear sway bar links but I would recommend getting 2 sets so that you have the same spacing in the front as well as the rear.
http://www.quadratec.com/products/92807_00XX_A_PG.htm
Parts you might want.
JKS Adjustable Front Track Bar. Like Eddie mentioned, you only need this if you think your Jeep ride is off, you can use this to recent the front axle.
http://www.quadratec.com/products/16007_003.htm
JKS Quick Disconnect Sway Bar Links. You only need this if you are going to be wheeling your jeep often and want to get the links off more often. They are much easier to remove than the stock style.
http://www.quadratec.com/products/16160_10X_PG.htm
These are Adjustable Front Lower Control Arms. Only needed if you feel your ride is not quite right. It will be because the caster is wrong. I don't have any experience with which brands are good but I will put down ones that I have heard and read about.
Teraflex

Synergy

Rock Krawler
http://www.quadratec.com/products/16189_2115.htm
So these are links to parts that you may want to use. I got found all of these on Quadratec just because their site is easy to navigate and to find what I'm looking for. There are a ton of other sites out there that you can order parts from that might be cheaper or have better shipping time and they WILL have better shipping prices. 4wd.com is one that I was lead to on this forum and I have found that its much easier to get free shipping from them than it is from quadratec I just don't prefer their site as much.
Good Luck with your build and I hope I was about to help :thumb:

LOL!! Well, I'm glad that my write-ups have been helpful. In addition to learning more about your Jeep, you'll also have tools that you'll be able to use again and again and they'll often cost less to get than it would be to pay someone to install your lift. It really is a win win for you.
