Depending on the weight of your vehicle, you might need a rear adjustable trac bar. That's the only thing I needed for my kit. They give you a bracket, but every JK is a little different.

If you're running 37's consider gearing, axle upgrades, and trimming pinch seam. Ball joints aren't a bad idea either, I'll run mine until they fail.

Run it like that and see if it works for you, I have a 3" without a dropped pitman or draglink flip and I've had people question why I didn't... Simple answer... It works fine without it! I have little to no bump steer and no wobble. If you put it all together and find out you need something then go for it, but don't drop the coin for something you don't necessarily need. And if you found out you do need something I would just bite the bullet and do a draglink flip... It's a much better solution that you'll be glad you did down the road... Solves more than one problem... Better steering, more ground clearance, stronger shafts
