I have the same kit as Stanly and I'm very impressed with it, I think my 285/75 R16's fit the bill well and the only think I can think to add to this kit is disconnects for the front and/or upper arms to be a bit kinder on the driveshafts.

I've done severely corrugated roads after the install and there was a good deal of rattling going down, so I might head with yom's idea of welding down the trackbar brackets soon

4 door petrol.

okay , took the jeep off-road with Bill on the weekend and what he rated as some A grade tracks. the truck preformed soooo well, did not bottom out once, the flex was awesome and the ride was surprisingly smooth. It chewed up everything in its way , and as soon as i got back on the road the jeep was back on track to smooth road driving. so far very very impressed.

I have photos on my phone but no cable to connect it to the computer.. dam it !

In that case I would recommend the DBOR PPM JK starter 2" kit. I don't recommend the 3" kit as you may have issues which will result in you spending more money to correct. This kit suits the petrol unlimited perfectly.

Aww i dont wanna go 2".
I know ill regret not having that extra inch further down the track.
At least i know that with the 3" ill comfortably fit 33's.

Perhaps ill get 1" coil spacers on the front to temporarily fix the sag in the front. And save for the complete 3" lift. (or at least the Starter 3" kit with extra parts such as control arms, shockies etc)
