I have the rc double steering stabilizer kit installed with the lift. a couple local guys are running this same lift with no problems also.

I would also say no drop pitman arm. We like our sector shafts straight.

Hey Ben,

I'm about to install a 5.7 Hemi and tranny, how much will this affect my 4in X-Series lift in the front as far as weight or will I need to move up to the 6in to compensate for the weight and possible front slope due to the heavier hemi?

I think it will drop a little. I put a hemi in a tj. The front dropped a little over an in. I put Acos in the front to adjust hight and lean.

This kit will be awesome. I have the 4" kit and love it. Drive shafts are the only thing I can really see being a great option with the long arm kit.

Ben, please stay away from the drop pitman arms. With 4" I would say a drag link flip and raised trackbar mount at the front axle and a raised trackbar mount on the rear axle also.
