Okay so I believe I'm gonna go with a teraflex 4" LCG suspension lift with shocks. I will also be buying
- teraflex speed bumps
- extended brakelinez
- front/rear driveshafts
- nitto mud grappler 37"r17
- EVO axle gussets
- 5.13 gears
- bushwhacker flat style fender flares

Anything else i need?

Just so you know, those Mud Grapplers are loud as crap! I just got some a couple months ago, and I'm glad I bought them used so I don't have to listen to them too long. They look incredible and probably perform great (haven't had the chance to off road with them), but they are really loud. I'll probably replace them with the Trail Grappler variety when they need replacing.

By the way, good luck with the lift; I've been "working" on getting one for awhile myself.

Have you thought about the poison spyder crusher flares instead of the bushwhacker? They are awesome.

Will you need draglink flip kit? Guessets ,PSC steering , Reid knuckles, and a partridge in a pare tree?!?

I run a 3 inch short arm with 1 inch body and flat fenders and have pretty of room rolling 38x13.5x17

heres the deal bro, you got more then the basics needed to get out the door...but as you will find..one mod..leads to another mod..and another....(you get the point) so you could sit here and have lists all day...

But i think with everything that comes with TF Kit you should be good with that, and the other mods you have there. Run it for a few days, let the check book dust settle (hope its not all going on the card :( ) and then start looking at what your next step is..and have fun learning along the way.

You going to do your own install? or shop'in it out?

AND PICS..PICS..PICS...THIS IS MY JEEP-O-PORN SITE NEED THE FIX...(as the wife calls it)

Ah I forgot. I do plan on getting a steering stabilizer as well. And what exactly does a drag-link flip kit do?

Don't see anything on wheels. Are you planning to run stock? Are you going 12.5" or 13.5" wide? Might want to look around at the pros and cons of stock wheels and wide tires.

Front driveshaft for sure. Rear - maybe wait until (if) it breaks. There's a lot of lifted 4-doors with the stock rear driveshaft chugging along just fine.

An almost-free mod is to trim the stock fender flares. There's a write-up on it here:

http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-...ry-fender-chop

The rear lower shock mounts are going to get hammered. Might want to look around at options for relocation or protection.

The evap canister needs to be protected or moved (or ripped off).

Bash the rear muffler until it's flat, then replace it with a kit that frees up the back.

Are you going to run a spare? Where are you going to put it? Check around for opinions and options.

I have 5.13 gears and like it. Others prefer the 5:38's, especially with 37" tires.

Look around at what people say about steering stabilizers. After you are done with the mods, if you have a death wobble you need to find the cause, not mask it. Relocate it by all means.

The drag-link flip moves up the drag link a couple of inches to get it a little more out of harm's way.

From my experience I'd put the money saved on the rear driveshaft and steering stabilizer and put it toward a set of good serviceable ball joints. Probably 80%+ cause of death wobble. If not now, they will be for sure.

Again, just 2 cents worth of advice. Probably not worth every penny.

I am currently running the Procomp 6in long arm kit with FOX shocks and have nothing bad at all to say about it! Drives great on the street and kills it on the trails. I would say if you are going to wheel your jeep regularly I would invest in a PCS hydro assist steering kit. It was a must for me at least and has made life great while off road on my 37's. but before I went to hydro assist I had a FOX SS and that worked great also. I have added a lot of weight with front and rear bumpers, winch and poison spyder crusher fenders and corner guards also so im sure I am no longer at 6in lift anymore anyways.
