http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_jk_4flex.html,Does this kit come with everything nessary to lift your jk(not including drive shafts). Did you buy anything else for this lift? Thanks for input.
it's a really complete kit. while not necessary, at this height, i might recommend adding a front track bar relocation bracket and dropped pitman arm or drag link flip to it. they will help keep make the handling of your jeep better.

Alright thanks, ill look into that around summer, im just getting a early start on parts searching, so that i can buy the jeep and then buy all the parts at once so that it will only be in the shed for a day or two on jacks and i can get it all at one time. 20 lug nuts isnt fun to undo a couple of tmes in a week
I did not add the dropped pitman arm of drag link flip kit and my JK drives GREAT. I have driven on the freeway at 70 mph with no problems at all. I have driven in rock gardens and washboard dirt roads with no problems.
I did get the rear coil angle shims since so many other people have mentioned adding them to everyone's 4" lift.
I also added the wheel spacers since I haven't found any aftermarket rims that I like.
As I mentioned, my JK drives great. Get the kit now while it is on sale.

Definitely get the rear coil shims. It will help correct the bow-ing of the rear springs when you correct the pinion angle. You could also get JKS adjustable perches, but they're about $170 compared to $60 for the shims. The benefit to getting either is so the rear springs seat close to straight as possible because under full flex the rear track bar could get in the way
I also got the dual stabilizer cause even after my alignment there was still some shimmy in the wheel. Our roads are awesome down here
