Skyjacker 2" Spacer Kit ??
Does anyone have any history with the Skyjacker 2" spacer lift and how is it
compared to the RE Budget Boost? RE is out of stock and I really don't feel like waiting another 4-6 weeks. The prices are almost equivalent. |

Re: Skyjacker 2" Spacer Kit ??
A coil spacer is a coil spacer IMO, not much diff between any of them.
Some come with shocks, some don't, that all. That's what you have to compare (the shocks).

Re: Skyjacker 2" Spacer Kit ??Shocks??
From personal experience with both the the Skyjacker Nitros and the Doetsch
3000's, I'd strongly advise you not to get the Nitros. They are far too stiff, on my '76 CJ they were unbearable and were immediately replaced with Skyjacker Hydros. IMHO, for your application the 3000s would be superb. On my '94 YJ I used the Doetsch 3000's for two years and was quite impressed with them. Great control but soft riding. I added M.O.R.E. extended shocks mounts this year and replaced the 3000s with 8000s, which are just a bit firmer.

I'd be willing the bet the Doetsch are better (from what I've read
around here anyway), which brings you back to the 4-6 week wait I guess. :( Dave On Sat, 24 Apr 2004 14:42:07 GMT, "Phinz" <Canes&Phinz@#1.com> wrote: >So my question would now be...are the Skyjacker Nitro shocks better than the >Doetsh 3000 > > > > >"David C.

I just put the REBB on my TJ earlier this year. The Doetsch 3000s seem
good... not too harsh for me & mine is a daily driver. I think it rides better than the OEM shocks.

Re: Skyjacker 2" Spacer Kit ??Shocks??
Those shocks are designed to keep the wheels on the ground. I
wonder what some of these cushy TJ owners would do if they rode in a new leaf spring Corvette, designed to stick the tires to the payment and pull one full gravity.

Re: Skyjacker 2" Spacer Kit ??
I saw one in the box earlier this week.
It comes with 1" extensions for the bump stops, but no shocks. I know here in Canada I can get extensions for the front shocks because they have a post on them, the extension just lengthens the post but what about for the rear shocks with the bar? Does my friend have to just go buy 2 rear shocks or are there extensions for the bar type of mount?
