no experience with it, but its just a 3" spacer lift, new shocks might be needed as well.

well over inch in a half can cause problems with shifting trans and transfer case.. brake lines are going to be real tight during articulation.. plus the stress on the bolts..

I have a 2" spacer lift and no probs of any kind. But if you have been bit by the mod bug then save your money and get the big lift you will end up buying later anyway.
You will say that you dont plan on lifting it any more then that but give it a month or two after you get the spacers and you will be shopping for a full lift kit.
The jeep mod bug is like AIDS. Once you get it. You cant get rid of it.
If you have a wife or girlfriend. Get her into jeeps or there will be problems in the future...Lots of single jeep owners...lol

If you do a t-case drop to correct some drive line angles, then i could see how it would affect the shifter linkages a bit though.
