Default Help?

I'm going to buying a 4 inch Rough Country lift kit soon and 35 inch tires with 15 inch pro comp steel rims. Any suggestions/recommendations I should consider before buying all this?

I'm consider the same thing, but 16's. I've read a lot on here and got a lot of helpful info. I don't know what your ride is, but I have a '12 JK Sport and was told that I need new front and rear driveshafts and to relocate my steering stabilizer. If you plan on doing some rock crawling, you'll find that people recommend lockers and quick disco's. I myself will be holding off on those for now until most of my Jeep is paid off. But I will be getting the new driveshafts. Take a look around and post a lot of questions. You'll get a lot of great help. Good luck!

Awsome, how much are the rear and front drive shafts going to cost you? And are they necessary?

I'm not very sure about the rear, but one website I looked at had them for over 400. I haven't done much research to determine the best price. But the front driveshaft is very necessary. Look at the link that ninjajmoney posted and it will tell you all about it. It will have other information that you need to know.
