So I bought some 4.5" coils and bilstein 5100's from a forum member for a great deal! I wheel light to moderate depending on where I am. Nothing crazy and no rocks
Now here's some questions I have and kinda my list
Besides new driveshafts what else should I plan on getting?
Front upper and lower Control arms or can I get away with the aev drop brackets?
Brake line extensions
What size sway bar links eye to eye? Front and rear?
Adj. front trackbar
Teraflex rear trackbar bracket
Extended bump stops
And as far as the steering geometry goes, do I need to go with a drag link flip at this height?

Please let me know if I'm forgetting anything

Thanks, JK yeti

 

I have the aev 4.5 which replaces just about everything excpt the driveshafts...so far so good on stock ones by the way.

 

How many miles do you have on the lift with the driveshafts? And did it come with all 8 control arms?

 

I'd look at either a RK short arm or long arm rear 3 link kit if your going offroad. Cheaper in the long run to just buy a complete kit than piece together....plus it works.

 

Not if you make half of the stuff and depending on what brand you get of everything...

 

Really? I'll check out some kits but from what I've. been researching its cheaper to piece together.

 

The rear driveshaft on my 4.5 lift is still working fine. 2+ years.
The front will need replaced if you plan on flexing it out at all.
I did the crown break lines for a 6 inch lift.
I can get you some sway bar link measurements when my jeep gets home.
I'm running Metalcloak arms up front and stockers rear still.
Fronts are a must iMO to,set pinion/ caster angles so it will drive right.
I did the flip kit and raised trackbar up front. You want you trackbar and drag link to be at the same angle.

 

That's be awsome!
And yeah i know about the trackbar and draglink positioning. So I'll do some front lca's and uca's
For sure instead of the drops! Most likely go with crown or rock Krawler extended lines.
I'm running a 3.5" rough country lift so just looking to go bigger and upgrade at the same time. I only plan on have about 4" of lift after bumpers and a winch. And as far as front driveshafts, I've read nothing but positive reviews from Adams and i love the price but what are you Guys running? Tom woods, JE reel?

 

I am running the Synergy 4.5 springs. Front Metalcloak sway bar links are 12 inches eye to eye. Rears are 14. Don't remember which kind they are, I think RK.
I no longer have the frame drop bracket. I did a axle side when I did hydro assist.
I'm running a tatton front driveshaft. It's holding up ok so far.

 

Ok great thanks!
I'll most likely go with axle side raised trackbar bracket also.
For the rear how ever do i need a raised bracket and adj. track bar or can i get one or the other?

I'm swapping my axles the same time i put the lift on so trying to get it all squared away before hand!
