Some lift questions, appreciate the help
I already have OME regular shocks installed on my JK (long story involving a busted stock shock) and would like to complete a modest lift.
Is the best bet to finish out the Northridge OME kit (http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...K-PACKAGE-LIFT)?
And if so, what's the most sensible combination of parts to complete this? I'd rather not introduce weird problems like DW, murdering a stock drive shaft, and the like.
I'm thinking:
* Balance of standard OME lift (which I believe includes springs and spacers).
* Currie lower front control arms.
* JKS adj. front and rear trackbars.
Some questions:
1. Does the above sound correct?
2. Any need for wheel spacers (running stock wheels and stock-sized tires)?
3. Any need to do the brake lines w/o long travel shocks?
4. Do I need the "rear spring retainers"? (I do not know what these are.)
4. I'm fairly confident I can install all of this myself using hand tools, but are there alignment steps I need to take afterward that could require a real mechanic?
Thanks for the help. It's all a bit confusing sometimes.

Thanks. I've bought from David on a somewhat regular basis and agree, he's great. Your insight on the T/F rear trackbar is exactly the kind of wisdom I'm seeking here. Thanks again.
