ok I have a 97 Cherokee sport and have been looking at lift kits for days and reading reviews.. I was sold on a rubicon express but that is no longer the case (duh).... I have read good reviews on the "Rock Krawler 4.5" Kit" there are 2 kits to choose from and I would like your input on which one would be good to get.. Also if this kit is a POS please let me know before I send them the the cash for the kit.. Rock Krawler and OME seem to have good reviews but OME kit seems to be more expensive.. What do you think.
