I have it on a 99 the kit is great rides great i just need to go bigger.
The only thing I will say if you think you might want to go bigger just do it from the start much cheaper in the long run.also I had to a SYE with this kit.

I'm practically running the RE 4.5" kit. Except I used TnTs boomerang shackle and a 1.75 spacer on top of my 3.5" coils. Its a great kit and works well the only real downfall of it is the rough ride you get because of the short arms. Many people will tell you to upgrade the track bar to but other then that it is one of the best 4.5" kits out there. With trimming and bumpstopping its great for 33" to 35" tire.

I paid like $250 for my SYE HD shaft but you can do a hack and tap for less.

I'm not too up to speed on my lift kits for these things.....long arms, I mean I know what the lift kit pieces are (I'm 41 years old by the way, so I have been around cars and jeeps for a while) but where do the long arms attach to underneath?

If I were to do it again I would have mixed the 5.5 lift with the 4.5 springs and 3.5 leafs. that way I would have the HD track bar and the drop brackets. Mine is sitting on 33's BTW with some trimming from and rear. even with 5.5 i would imagine there would still have to be a little trimming.
the 4.5 kit sits low up front, even after settling and you will need to throw in a .75 spacer to level it out.
