Exactly as I had expected -- good value
I installed this on a 2000 TJ, 4.0L with manual 5sp, which already had a 4" suspension lift. I'm preparing to upgrade from 33" to 35" tires in the near future.All the pieces I needed were included (note that I simultaneously installed the JKS 1" Motor Mount lift kit, so I didn't have to mess with the linkage adjustments or trimming the fan shroud as the motor maintains reasonable alignment).The body lift install goes very quickly, say 60-90 minutes, even without hurrying. However, if you do the motor mount lift right after the body lift, watch out. It took 3 hours all by itself as it has tough bolts in tight places!The only issue, which is well documented on the internet, is that with a body lift (even worse without the motor lift), the shifting of a manual transmission into the gears 2, 4, and R is difficult. The shifter doesn't have enough clearance to move far enough rearward to fully engage the gears. Fixes include moving the console back about 1/4", trimming the inner shifter boot, and/or removing the inner boot altogether. I have not done these steps yet since the shifting works, albeit in an obstinate way.

Easy to install
Easy to install. I didn't like the radiator mount part where you have to drill a hole. I end up breaking the self tapping bolt. I don't plan on body lifting it any more do I got the mounts welded on.

Very complete set
One thing to note when doing the lift, don't remove all of your bolts at the same time. Loosen them all but only remove one side. Don't forget there's two in the rear up by the shock towers. Loosten your fan shroud as when you lift the vehicle it could break the vanes. Do one side at a time so you don't misalign the body to the frame. I didn't run into any issues except for my spare tire carrier latch into my tail gate.

Easy install
Just needed a little lift for the 33" tires on my Jeep TJ Instead of a changing springs or adding spacers this body lift kit did the job in only a couple of hours.
