if your jeep has got a lot of miles you may want to get some extra bolts and stuff just in case. When we installed mine we busted a bunch of bolts because they were so tight and corroded from age. Also i put the three inch on mine and a couple weeks later decided it wasn't high enough. So before installing if i were you i would go ahead and buy the 2 inch shackles n spacers and install them at the same time. there only 100 bucks through rusty's and i think they're about the same through rc. It makes a big difference. check out my photos. I have pics with stock, the three inch, and the 5 total with shackles and spacers. Good Luck
