Nothing

I would suggest relocating the front brake lines if you haven't already, you can move them from the stock position to further down on the frame.

You won't need a tcase drop for this little BB lift you are planning.

Edit: Unless I'm mistaken, did you provide a wrong link? I'm seeing just shackles/coil spacers.

You may want to look into new leafs dependin on the shape yours are in. If they're flat thats no good and the lift would be a waste. good luck with the build.

Shackles with poor leafs will pretty much result in bad angles and soon sag.

If you're looking for a lift don't do it by paying $100 for a pair of shackles and coil spacers man. I'd recommend RC or Rustys, they have affordable prices for decent quality.

If your leafs are in fair condition you'll get by with an AAL, if not I wouldn't bother and suggest full packs.

If your doin your 98 i'd do a full leaf pack, seein as it sags a lil in the pic. As for the blue one i can't see to tell. Plus the leaf pack will actually net you more lift than the kit says.

Dude stay away from fat bobs garage. They are a local shop near me. All their stuff is crap and the guys there know nothing. I used there stuff to lift my first jeep and it didn't turn out well. Like others have said spend the extra bucks and go with Rough Country or Rustys.

No way to tell until hes put it in, but doubtful he'll need longer shocks. Its just shackles and spacers.
