Im looking to upgrade my jeeps lift. Looking for a long arm lift. But I want it to come with everything. Shocks, soils, disconnects, drive shafts, brake lines the whole shebang! Any tips would be helpful thanks

I don't think such a single kit exists--at least not with driveshafts and maybe with brake lines. Your best bet would be to contact one of the vendors (I recommend Northridge, but there are other goods ones around) and ask them to help you put together everything that you will need.

But, the challenge is there are some variables out there. For example, I have a 2.5" TF coil lift. You'd think that would be great, but because of my specific needs (run expedition style with lots of added weight from hardtop and rack and gear; or run for "summer fun" with little more than a safari top), my rear end has a range of about 0-1.5" of sag, depending on what I have installed and how much gear I have. I know there are things like the JKS ACOS, but I don't want that much additional lift because it then drives more cost (driveshafts, rear control arms, move rear axle spring perches, etc). Therefore, I'm replacing the rear springs with a set of OME HD 3" springs--to see what will happen and my next avenue for attacking my problem--if that doesn't satisfactorily solve it. You may or may not have a similar experience: It depends on where you take your build and it's unlikely that you'll ever find the perfect, complete kit.

teraflex's long arm comes with everything... most any lift companys will supply everything you need for your long arm lifts, besides your driveline mods that they reccomend to be done.

Or job your rig out to companies like American Expedition Vehicles (AEV). They basically put everything you need into one complete kit.

My main goal is to run 39.5x15x15 TSL super scampers if that helps any. I under stand all the stress, and the strength that ill have to put into my axles. But that's being taken care of very shortly from now. I will also be buying 37's for when they are called for on certain offroading clubs, trails, or events.
