JK, my brake lines were ok with those springs. The right front got a little tight at full flex, but I don't have any drop brackets for them either. My shocks also limited travel. It depends on how much travel you're FT shock are going to have. I am planning to upgrade to SS lines because I'm going to change shocks and get something with longer travel. Also, don't for get about your ESP wires. They might need to be extended depending on how much flex you will have.

Thanks BLKRUBI I will be weary of the front brake and electrical parts and put them to the test. I am not sure of the shocks just yet but I am looking at for the specs as I write this.

I'll scond (or third) the control arms. You can get by with just the front lowers and then rear uppers to fix your rear angle. Or keep the money on hand and drive it after you install your lift. If you don't mind how it handles then you can wait, if you feel it's too "darty" then order and install them. I for one didn't like how mine handled so I installed adjustable control arms fast. I have a 2 Door, though.

I may just end up making my own alignment cams for now. I have some stuff in my garage that would work perfectly. Trying to source a cheap set also because the only ones I have found were from RE and they are 60 bucks for two bolts with offset washers.

Now, several of these "won'ts" are coming from major, and I mean MAJOR, eastcoast driveline shops and manufactureses. I realize we dont have the wheelin that you guys have out there but shouldnt they know??
I have been told the front lower control arms is all I need to set my caster after a 4" lift on my 2dr Rubi. Then again, I hear, NO, I need the front UPPERS. What the hell!! IS there a difinitive answer or not? I have ordered all eight Currie control arms just so there is no room for error. I am about to order a rear driveshaft just to feel good about this lifting thing. But is it something I really need? . It's frustrating for someone that doesnt know for sure and gets conflicting answers. I've been to your website but I think WE, would appreciate a definite answer to these questions. We don't need or won't to spend $$$ that arent necessary.
Thanks,
Just venting some since I have received so many different answers.

OK, TeraFlex, please answer the questions. Why is it there are so many different answers?? I know you are offering driveshafts now. Are these really necessary? And how about the different answers on the front lower control arms versus the front uppers for adjusting the caster. I'm not trying to be obnoxious here but we get so many different answers to the same questions. I would like a difinitive answer to these, as I'm sure so many others would. As I said before, a major east coast driveline shop said I would not need a rear driveshaft. Most of the west coast people say I will. Granted, you all on the west coast see way more wheelin than we do and I respect that. I just don't like getting so many different opinions when it comes to my paycheck.
