It depends on what you are going to do with it. I don't know where in the world you could find a 4 in. lift for 200 bucks regardless of what it is. I know this. You can get a 2 in Budget Boost with shocks for around 200 dollars and will be a lot less likely to have any kind of problems out of wobble or control issues as you would out of a 1500 dollar 4 inch lift. I have a 2 in BB on mine and all I had to do was a small transfer case drop and have absolutely no vibrations or control problems of any kind. When you go to a larger lift 3+ you have to start looking into adj. control arms, adj. trac bars, SYE and CV conversion and you start getting deep into the pocket. My friend had a 00 TJ with a 4 inch skyjacker lift and that thing was a death trap because they just did Coils and Shocks and double steering stabilizers to make it where you could halfway control it. My long drawn out point>> Unless you wanna invest some money and make sure that it is done right you need to stay with a smaller lift and not have to worry about all the problems of a large lift, and if you are ready to go ahead and do it right the first time, go for it and just make sure you get what you need to have it done right and done safely. But also remember as the wise MR. CLIFFORD once said a BB is just a gateway drug. Get that and you are addicted forever!!
