If your 4wd and getting the 4.5in. lift you might need to get a SYE. There is a possible chance that you will get driveline Vibration and the SYE with fix that. You will also need and alignment and track bar to realign the front of you jeep.

You can lift to 3" cheap but as soon as you go over that the money into it doubles. Once you go to over 4.5" you go into a 500 SYE and front driveline replacement. I personally would go over 4.5" for my first lift on an vehicle do to the money and also the change in the handling of your vehicle.
