Default Did I forget anything.

Hey guys, Please check out my list of upgrades and tell me if I am missing anything.

1. EVO Off road 4 in long arm with King 2.5 with reservoir shocks and Envy lengths.
2. Goodyear Kevlar 37-12.50-17 or Pitbull rockers (same size)
3. EVO rear tire carrier (has to use EVO rear skins)
4. Poison Spyder 4 door trail cage
5. Lots of armor!


Here are some of my questions..............
1.Do I need to replace drive shafts with this lift and tire selection?
2.Do I need to go with chromoly shafts in the front axle?
3. Will a PSC ram assist be something I might need to run 37 in tires in the rocks.
4. What steering do yall recommend using?
5. What programmer to correct the speedometer?


Here is the other stuff Im ordering.

4.88 or 5.13 gear
EVO gussets and sleeves for front axle
Atx beadlocks
Rigid Industries D2 lights
PSC rocker armor and b pillar armor
Truck lite headlights
Dynomax Rock Crawler exhaust
Black magic pads and rotors (what do yall think)

Just wanting to make sure I'm not forgetting something I'm gonna wish I bought.

Pretty lengthy list... As for steering, I'll defer to WoL on the RAM assist, but you will have a high steer kit that comes with your lift, so it will at least handle well on the road until you get the RAM assist, if needed. You also might want to consider ARB airlockers, as your stock e-lockers will get eaten up by 37s. Depending on your wheeling conditions, chromoly is probably a good idea. Front driveshaft will be necessary, not sure about rear with that setup. Evap skid would be good too. Plus, with beadlocks and 37s, the axle gussetts should be at the top of your list even for on-road driving. It seems you have plenty of money to spend, so have you looked at a ProRock 44 for the front? It is a better investment than adding the chromoly axles and gussetts now, because you WILL want one eventually. You can build one on the Northridge site and get exactly what you want. Hell, order 2 and send one my way in exchange for the advice! Haha.

You will want a ram assist for the rocks with 37's. I don't get to run in rocks often, but the times I did I wish I had it. It's too much strain on the stock pump without a ram assist.

The AEV procal doesn't have the performance tunes like the others but with no other options it has to do, it'll adjust shift points on an auto and correct your speedo adjust your tpms and adjust for new gears along with a few other minor things but for $150 it's well worth the purchase

thats a great start for sure!

I would replace the front and rear driveshafts and it wont hurt to put chromolys in the front. it really depends on how hard you plan on playing. Ram assist is not needed right away, But its something you will want in the future. The PSC kit works great on the JK's. This is what I would recommend.
