I'll backup ferrum. My skyjacker lifted waggy rides way better than any lifted rig I've owned. I'd say go with them and if you need a wee bit more for clearance, add a 1" body lift.

Thanks for the advice guys but I bit the bullet and gave Bill and Bob over at Alcan my business. I gave them all the specs of the Jeep and they're going to build a set of springs for me :-bd

Got any pics of your Chief I could look at? Trying to decide between BJs and Skyjacker. Have a set of brand new BFG 33 muds waiting on me to make a decision :).

Might want to check with BJ's before ordering. I know their 6" lifts are on back order until early next year. Not sure about their 4" kits. Their 4" lifts are normally top notch, though.

I use the Tapatalk app on either my phone or iPad and upload pictures and respond to posts on it. Very easy.

There it is! Liberating isn't it?

Every time I see the stupid photobucket picture all I can think of is this:

I installed a Rough Country 3" http://amzn.to/2x61Ggo . I added a drop pitman and XJ rear shackles. I love the look and the ride. I was a bit afraid that the ride would be bad since I have heard the horror stories about Rough Country lifts. To be honest I can barely even notice a difference over stock. I am running 33x10.5x15 with no rubbing at all, even at full flex. 12.5 might be a different story though.
