Ok guys new here. I just bought my first cherokee. I have had a wrangler a few years back. but wanted a cherokee. so now i have it. they guy sold it to me with shackles and blocks, and spacers for the springs. Now im not worried about ride quality or any of that stuff.I just need to know what else I ABSOLUTELY need to install this stuff. Im talkin stuff like t-case drop or anything like that not actual install tools. i know what i need for that. and thanks before hand.

Shocks, brake lines, slip yoke eliminator, shims for leafs, control arms (prob should go long arms at that height), track bar, sway bar links, steering linkage (might need a drop pitman arm or 1 ton upgrade)

And you'll need at least 35" tires with that much lift so it doesnt look silly. And with those you'll need wheels with less backspacing and/or wheel spacers. Then you'll probably want to regear your axles. And if you have a Dana 35 rear, throw it away for a better one (Chrysler 8.25, Dana 44 or Ford 8.8)

The list goes on. And doesnt end really ever
