i have this set up...you'll need a tc drop (you could easily make), track bar relocation bracket, shocks, adj lower control arms (or its gonna drive like ****), brake lines relocated, and i think that's about it

yeah, might not be a bad idea...i would spend a day and look around online everywhere, you may find all the parts above for a little less than a whole new kit. mine total was around 900 for parts (2 inch shackle spacer/3 inch springs)

X2 on the looking around

And you would definitely need some new brake lines, shocks, Tbar relocation/new adjustable one, and as stated tcase drop or sye.

the Rc 4.5" AAL does come with adj control arms, but does not include adj track bar RC makes one for 100 i beleive just get that also, you shouldnt need a sye either (may want one but not needed) im running this kit without SYE but i have upgraded most of my steering.
