I ended up going with the 4.5" Rough Country lift with full springs b/c of the budget I was on. A friend of mine Aaron has the 4.5 and seem to have good luck with it. While I was ordering I got the axle guards, quick disconnects, red boots and a new steering stabilizer. Hopefully this Wensday I will start getting it put on. If I dont forget I will take some pics along the way. While I am working on her I went ahead and got a new time chain, valve seals, high volume oil pump, rear main seal and of course Fel Pro Perm gaskets. Wish me luck.

No I actually forgot the brake lines, so I am probably gonna order the braided brake line kit for a 3" lifted TJ. This should give me all the length I need. If I remember right the TJ lines are 3" longer than the XJ's and a direct fit stock. So I figure the lines will be at least 6 inch longer over stock then, please correct me someone if I am wrong.

Okay I see that they also make the adj trac bars also. I will give them a call Monday and get it rolling. That way I will have them by the weekend.
Also you said to try YJ lines correct? The stock lines are that much longer or the extended aftermarket lines are?
