Default Wondering

I am starting to see my tires are getting pulled back. I would like to go a little higher eventually and would have to get a longarm lift anyway. But I was wondering if there is anywhere that sells the longarm extensions without the lift just to get my coils straightned up a little.

Kyle, I thought that you only could use that kit with a 4.5 or higher lift coils. Feel free to correct any misconceptions that I have about this application.

I dont know what the OP is running as far as height but TnT states that you need 4". I dont know of anybody running this kit under 4" so I couldn't really tell you if it would work. Although it should.

for something under 4" i'd just get control arm drop brackets. I know some people who are running the new Rough Country ones and they say they are pretty good.

Yes it will, take a look at RC or RE drop brackets.

Wish lists are never ending when you own a Jeep. It is the secondary affliction that comes from being bitten by the Jeep bug. Jeep means Just Empty Every Pocket as I'm sure we are all aware of by now.

ok, I took a look under m jep and it looks like the drive shaft as well as the upper arms wil adjust. It seems that all I need are the lower arms. What I am wondering now is, will this affect my steering column?

There steering is not affected because the steering column and the steering box are mounted to the unibody and don't move in relation to the suspension components. Get some adjustable lower control arms from a reputable company and change them for your stock ones and adjust to fit.
