So I am building a bastard pack and collecting parts for my lift. Rustys has their 4.5 inch coils on sale for $100 right now, my question is what else will I need right now to get these in. I am not doing any real hard wheeling until I get at least new LCAs. Can I run these coils without them as a DD? Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam

You will need to either get an adjustable tracbar, or fab a bracket to move the trac bar over enough. Without the control arms your caster is going to be messed up and you can actually bend you lca's very easy. Grab some new brake lines or at least relocate them lower. You will also need shocks. Just buy these now and wait till you get everything together.

Do you mean what else do you need for the whole lift to work? I'm guessing you have 4.5" leafs made up and you are getting Rusty's 4.5" front coils,Right? I would just wait till you got the CA's, adjustable track bar, disco's,brake line extentions, and some new longer shocks. But if you are in a hurry then you have to have disco's or extended front sway bar connects and a track bar bracket of some kind and either longer shocks or some BPE's that make the shocks you have mount lower which would make them work.

Yes, I am building a 4.5 inch pack with s10 blazer rear leafs and shackles. I am building a parts list now that I will need. Here is what I have on the list right now: LCAs, Coils, Track bar, quick discos, and extended brake lines. Any other suggestions?

Will I be able to get the 4.5 without needing UCAs?

Thanks for the help guys!

yes you dont need upper arms unless you go to about a 5.5 or 6.5

Will LCAs for a 6.5 lift be too long? I know they are longer but will they pose any problems? Found a used set...

thanks guys!
