Default What's next?

i just got my new rims and tires this week along with 4 inch springs. The lift i have consist of springs, rear traction bar bracket, sway bar links, brake line ex brackets and bump stops. I took it off road last weekend and so far everything works fine. I noticed on the freeway it swerved a little on uneven surface or lines but other than that it was ok. Should i get gussets, sleeves, lower front control arms? Any advice will help but what would be the most important thing i should buy next is the question.
Thanks

What size tires did u go with? If ur 35" or bigger yes on the gussets and sleeves/truss work, adjustable front track bar ur gonna need, I don't think u said u had one.... What kind of wheelin u do? Rocks, mud or both? All sorts of things to consider before buying stuff... Maybe u want bumpers, sliders, winch...

At the least I would recommend front and rear lower control arms to help get the tire back to stock location, fix your castor..sounds like you got a good set up tho.

You might want to add driveshafts to the list for future replacement as well.

Definitely go with a set of adjustable lower control arms. We would recommend the Rock Krawler arms.

Mine did the same thing with my 3" lift and 35s. Now I am ordering front lower and rear upper control arms and front and rear adjustable track bars to help because if I go faster than 55 on the highway it sways a lot.
