Default 4.5 lift question

I searched and did not find anything. I am getting 3.5" sptings and 1" spacers from a guy cheap and will be putting a tera flex 1.5 shackle in the rear. I have 3.5" in the rear now. My question is other than brake lines and CA's what is needed or can I get by with what I have for a little while? Thanks for the help.

Your probably going to encounter some vibes with that much lift, if you do I would recommend getting a SYE and a CV Driveshaft. You also are going to need an ADJ tracbar to re center your axle.

^^^Kyle-
After you do a trac bar relocation, can you then go to an adjustable trac bar?

Sorry for the jack...

You would then return to your original tracbar mount hole when using an adj tracbar.

Ya if you have a TC drop it will work temporarily, but the adj tracbar would be the main thing to get right now.
