I have a 4 door auto rubicon

I was thinking I would need a new front driveshaft, front/rear adjustable lower control arms, bump stops, brake line brackets and shocks. If I am missing any thing let me know.

I will also be adding these things in stages, for instance

bump stops/brake line brackets/shocks

then

front adj control arms

then

rear adj control arms


Or some thing like that. Still sorting it out.

 

Says it comes with brake lines. Probably need front driveshaft and some shocks that's bout it really. See how it feels then decide if you need the lower control arms or not. They'll help though. May not even need the driveshaft right away

 

(2) long travel linear front coil springs, double adjustable front track bar made from 1.5” solid alloy steel, adjustable front sway bar disconnects, (2) long travel linear rear coil springs, precision welded rear track bar relocation bracket made from ¼” thick laser cut steel, extended rear swaybar links, hardware and detailed instructions.


I must be missing it, I haven't seen brake lines mentioned anywhere...

4wheelparts says brakelines are included in the kit

 

How do they manage that with no caster correction?

Sounds like you have a handle on it already, though. If you aren't chopping the fenders, you'll want bumpstops. Front lowers to correct the caster. And rear uppers if/when you replace the rear driveshaft.

Don't think I've seen the stats on this one, what's the 'actual' lift from these 3.5" coils?

 

Crap, you are right. 4wheel also offers with a rear track bar which is not included on krawlers website......

 

No idea on the lift and I have flat fenders in front and chopped in back.


I also have no idea how so many kits can in good conscious say the kind of crap they do in their advertisements for their kits. At 3.5 of lift that thing should be pretty off on the caster.

 

I you go 3in and up, you really need adj front lowers to adjust your castor, no matter who makes the kit.

 

You and I know that, but half the 3 inch and up kits that are sold do not have adj. arms and advertise that they are not needed which is kind of some bullshit. Even the reputable guys say that in their product descriptions.

 

They're selling kits to meet the demand for lower price points.

You CAN install a 3 inch lift without addressing caster...it's not inherently unsafe...it's just not a good idea.
