My 3" lift...
Ok, now it's been awhile since I had to do one of these...
What all Xtra crap do I need for my 3" lift???
I can't remember for the life of me what all I took off, but I know my lift kit is intact, I'm mainly referring to the xtra stuff, like sway bar links? Brake line extender... What do I need immediately, and what can I wait to add-on later?
Here's the current stockpile:
FT Coils
HD Rear Leafs w/ AAL
Poly Bushings for new leafs
Leaf spring clips for AAL
extended locating bolts for leaf pack
New U-bolts and nylock nuts
New Shocks
And due to my u-joint debacle (which I'm in the middle of)
2 wheel bearings
6 wheel bearing bolts

I was kinda worried about the brake extender for the back, and I know I have to get the TJ parking brake cables, but since I don't have a working one on there now, it can wait.. lol
Also the bump stops and such, and I never asked before, but what's the old hockey puck trick with those?

I dont think you need the brake lines. I have 3.5" in the rear and dont have extensions or problems yet. My buddy runs 4.5" Y Link kit, and has stock brake lines haha

Oh, what about my front sway bar links? Not a problem or do I need extended ones? I lost my old ones (aftermarket) and my stock ones have seen better days...

I got quoted for a YJ brake line for 29 bucks at my local auto parts store. I have a RC extended one and its double the length of stock and it was only 32 bucks...oh and its steel braided

I always try to do the overkill on my stuff,I put brake lines for up to 4inches of lift on mine and I'm at only 2 to 2.5 of lift. Thats just me though.
