Need Help with lift
I purchesd a used 2.5 skyjacker 4 door lift kit that I am going to put into my two door X. Now all I have is the springs and the shocks. What else do I need I have never lifted a jeep before and plan to do it myself. I was thinking adjustable track bars, quick disk. Anything else I need and any other words of advice.

I think the bare min should be the adj track bars, it will center your axle, if you dont get them you might have a pass side bowed spring like me that when you center fixes the shift that causes the bow.
The quick discos are a good choice to because they are cheap and really make the performance offroad better, rides better offroad to lol
As far as anything else, Im not a big fan of skyjacker so I am not sure how good their shocks are but if you run them and your ride isnt that great might want to upgrade lift kits all together. or at least shocks.
I just noticed that you got a 4 door kit for your two door? Why?
You might have the replace driveshafts later if you get much over 3 inches lift and you wheel alot. If you have the auto I think it will be sooner than the 6spd in that. That being said I dont think its as bad as it sounds, its not over night, they just wear quicker because of the steeper angle.
