shocks not included in the RE kit. may need an SYE (slip yoke eliminator) for the transfer case to get rid of vibrations from steep rear driveshaft angle. front end alignment after the lift.

i got the same lift kit your gonna need extended brake lines $100 for all the extra droop (strech) you'll have! Also you'll need a extrem drop pitman arm $100, & a t-case 1" drop kit also about $100 that way your not always going through u-joints!!!

the slip yoke eliminator is the beter way to go but the t-case drop kit will do the job & its cheaper!!!

Wow you spent way to much money. How about straighten your front hardlines and remount them about 4" lower (free), you won't and shouldn't get a drop pitman arm (free), go to the hard ware store and get some 1" square pipping and bolts, drill as needed and use as your TC drop (less the $20)

That depends on how much you want to spend.
I have the rubicon express monotubes, and they work great for me

good call on the drop kit! but the brake lines might drop 4" but the stock lines wont list long stretching but if you need to go cheap then ya i guess! lol

What are you planning on tires and are they included in the $1000? Personally if I was going to spend $1000 max I would shop very carefully. 3.5" lift min parts list, Coil Springs, Rear Leaf Packs, Track bar, Shocks, TC Drop, Brakelines F&R, 30-31" tires, sway bar disconnects..

my 91 had a RC lift on . pretty decent lift . flexed pretty decent and came with the shocks . very reasonably priced aswell .. the shocks are a bit rough though . but a good choice .
