Default Newbie Question but Necessary I suppose

I am going to be doing a Pro Comp Stage II 4'' lift on my 2dr automatic X with 35" tires later on this month. I am also going to be regearing to 5:13's.

So the question is, is there anything else I will need to do? Do I need a different driveshaft?

Nope. Good start. The JK is good for 4" with no additional mods required.

Yep, with a two dr you will need DS's. Are you going with the ES9000 or the MX-6 shocks? Also, is the rear track bar relocation bracket the kind that mounts to the frame or the axle? The frame mount is the best way and if not I'd get an adj rear track bar too.

I am going with the es9000 for now and will upgrade later if I feel the need. Im not sure if the bracket mounts to the frame or axle yet, I'll have to check that.

So Tires, lift, front and rear gearing set, and driveshafts, possibly adj rear track bar.

Again sorry for so many questions but I want to get it right. What driveshafts do you recommend? have any links?

Having some control arms that you can adjust to set your caster/pinion angles is nice.
