Default 2.5" to a 4" lift?

I have the 2.5" Teraflex coil lift w/shocks with 1" coil spacers front and rear, and wondering what extra parts would I need for a 4" lift. Obviously ill be taking out the springs and shocks and im planning on getting a set of 4" bilstein shocks as well. Im waiting for a set of 4" coil springs in the mail from a member here. I have a 4dr 6speed Sahara.

Longer swaybar links, brakelines, bumpstops, better rear trackbar bracket, front adj. trackbar, adj. control arms, coil guide/retainers.Better compair the specs on those shocks to what TeraFlex has for specs.

okay gotcha! By any chance, I just bought some springs from a member on here and I searched the part number on the teraflex site and nothing came up. part number is 854400. What are the specs on these?

For the price your gonna pay for all those individual components, you might want to consider a complete kit instead. Look into the Ranch 4" Sport Lift with RS9000XL shocks. It has a $500 rebate right now making it a $500-$550 kit. It's an option you might not have considered.

Kit looks like it doesn't have any control arms. But it looks like a really good deal.

I thought so.. Even with a 6spd, would I need drive shafts right away?
