Default Getting ready for my lift...Any advice??

Ok, I am ready to order my lift kit. Is there any other stuff I should purchase?? Will 4 degree shims be sufficient to keep the vibs under wraps?? I have my credit card right here and I am ready to go, just wanted to see what you guys thought before I took the plunge.

Here's some pics of my Jeep from today. Pretty soon she is going to be going through some big changes.

im thinking even though the 3.5 usually ride higher, you probably shouldn't need tc drop and shims. Or if you do it would only be like 2* shims. everything else seems cool. Also check 4wd.com they have free shipping this weekend and might beat some of those prices on things as well. Good luck

That's the only part I am concerned about. I am not sure what shims to get, some people tell me 2 degree some tell me 4 degrees. How do I figure that out for sure?? Is there some math I can do to get a firm answer on that??

I'll check out 4wd.com, thanks for the heads up.

Just checked 4wd.com. Every single price was identical to the penny. It's almost like they are working from the same database. But, I can't get the rubicon express u-bolt kit for a Chrysler 8.25 rear end there, nor can I get the speedometer gear or the Old Man EMU shocks. And the free shipping is UPS ground in America only. I am in Canada.

Not sure if you would want a 4.5" lift but rustys has it cheaper and I have heard good things about rustys. Pretty much all the same stuff for less price. Like I said though im not sure if that is what you want though.
