Default Rough Country 6.5 lift questions..

I have a 2001 xj with a 3.5 pro comp suspension lift in it runnin 31s. This is what I want to do... Rough Country 6.5 inch suspension and run 33s on it. Besides the lift kit what else do I need? I was recommended the NP231 Slip Yoke Eliminator and a CV Rear Driveshaft - (extended). Is this right? Thanks - KEY

You can run without the sye But be a good idea to get it. Also high steer system should be recommened I'm working on that right now. 33's would be perfect so you don't lose any flex.

High steer would be good. At that height steering gets stretched to the max at full flex.

The kit should come with steel braided brake lines.

I have a couple of buddies who bought the 6.5 long arm rc kit. They look and perform really good and are worth the money. The come with just about everything u'll need, as well as the new brake lines.Go 4 it
