Default Quick question

Okay, so I now have a 4" pro comp suspension lift, my question is this. I am planning on putting some spacers on top of the coils and I want to know if i need anything else, like for instance longer shocks or shock extensions? I am only doing this because I think the 4" is not quite 4" and I want just a tad more clearance and maybe later on down the road, flat fenders and 37' with some trimming, Thanks guys!

depends on what all came with the kit you have on now. if you don't already have things like a front track bar relocation bracket and dropped pitman arm, you will want them. also, if you didn't get adjustable control arms, you will want at least lowers up front to help dial in your caster. maybe you can let us know what you have already.

That is part of the problem, I bought the jeep with the lift and tires on it. The shocks are pro comp, which is why i assume the lift is procomp, just not sure what all is from the lift. I know it has springs now so it is not a budget boost. Other than that I am not sure how to find out which lift set up it is

well, if it's just a basic lift kit, it won't have a lot of the components that you should have to ensure a good ride and handling. this diagram will help you to figure out what is what under your jeep. please note that the jeep shown has a lot of aftermarket parts on it so they will not look exactly the same on yours.



once you have identified the parts in question, you can look at a stock jk to see to verify what all was changed out on yours. if you don't have a stock jk to look at, here is a link that has some shots to help you out....

let us know what you have and don't have and we can help you from there.
