Because if I don't need to add anything besides the ball joints I'll be ordering in the morning for sure. Been waiting to get a lift until I know I'll have everything needed. I know I'll need a new front driveshaft but I won't be taking it offroad for the first couple months anyway, so flex shouldn't be a major issue to deal with right off the bat.

Thanks guys,
Ray

You have everything you need in that kit. That being said as you mentioned you will want a new front DS and I'd recommend a drag link flip kit. It's not needed but will make the ride much better. I haven't flipped mine yet but will soon. You will also need shocks but that is pretty obvious

What did you set your caster at? I think I have mine right around 3.5-4 degree's, but this is checking the best I can with an angle finder on the pinion flange.

How much lift did you gain from the kit?

I set my caster at 4.2. Which is in Hunter Specs and is dead on. I set mine on my buddies alignment rack. (Hunter is the brand of the rack). I gained like 4". I forgot to measure before I started lol

Lol. Mine was there too. He welded my bracket. I have more adjustments and I still have to install my brake lines. Since I've been in the road all week I'm behind, lol.
