Kyle suggested that as well. Went to Wally World today but he only had one and it had been opened so I ordered it on the 'puter as a site to store thing. I will pick it up when it gets in. Do I get the 90 days thing too?

RC 4.5 Kit. part #633H
The Kit comes with everthing I'll need. Eventually i'll get longer brake lines, and a adjustable trac bar. For now, money is tight so this will have to work for a year or so.

Is 5,June your expected delivery or expected ship date? You will need those brake lines and adjustable trackbar before you wheel and flex much.

June 5th it gets to the warehouse then ships that afternoon or the morning of the 6th. I don't live near any "legal" trails and this is my DD so im not worried about the lines or trac bar for awhile... Just want it lifted for now...

keep in mind that your front axle may be a bit off center without the adn tracbar.

Yeah towards the drivers side about 1.5" if my geometry still works. That means your coils are going to be leaning as well which can change the ride and height.

You are correct I was not aware that you were going to relocate it. That would reduce your displacement to about 1/2" which is tolerable.

I know eventually those will be things I for sure replace. I'll probably just drive it till I get more money.

Then my plans are 1.5" shackles in the back 1" spacer up front, SYE & CV driveshaft, brake lines, Adj trac bar.....

BEWARE
It's an addiction not far removed from smokin' crack or heroin or the like. In the case of Jeeps once you start you can never stop. Remember Jeep= Just Empty Every Pocket. It is real and people like Kyle try to make it seem nice by calling it a "Lifestyle" but we hard core Jeep junkies know it is running through our veins like a freight train and we are hopelessly addicted.
I've fallen into the Jeep pit and can't crawl out without a second transfer case and 37" tires 20 to 40 more horsepower and 4" more lift.

The preceding is a dramatization and not fit to be read by sane people(read non-Jeepers) and should be a lesson to those who begin to slide down the slippery slope of Jeep addiction.

He speaks the truth, it is a lifestyle and a very expensive one at that
