i wouldnt go mopar personally. I dont have the poly performance lift but have plenty of other poly gear and it seems to be good quality stuff so thats the kit i would go with.

Check out DBOR

Thanks for responses guys. Still undecided as to what to do - from what I've read I will need at least a 2.5" lift to maintain stock height if I add front/rear bars/winch/long range fuel tank? Have I got it right?

With regards to Northern - I haven't discussed any of this stuff with them yet.

gasman.... think about what your going to do with the vehicle before bothering with mopar ( Lovels ) stuff - at its premium price.

If you going to make any other mods that might affect warranty from Jeeps point of view then spending so much more on "mopar" parts just for a "warranty" that would be voided by other modes doesn't make much sense to me.

So if lift is all your going to do, and the money is ok then..... but if its part of a larger / longer term project then its IMO money wasted.

Its sort of like those who proudly announce their legal as their 2" lift is fully engineered, then drive around on tyres that weren't part of the engineered package. The second negates the first....... if you follow.

Point taken.

It is going to be (I suspect) part of a longer term project.

Is there any one out who has been knocked back on warranty on an issue related specifically to the aftermarket product???
Would be interested to know.

Im not talking about shaft failures due to excessive lift for example.
