XJ 3" lift question
I have a 93 XJ sport. I am putting on 1 inch lift upcountry hd oem springs in front and back. Also have a 2 inch spacer in front and a 1.5 inch lift shackles and 1/2 inch lift block in back. My main question is what else do I need... thinking about longer front lower arms, lower track bar bracket and or sway bar bracket. Also, longer brake lines, tc lower kit, etc. Not quite sure, different manufacturers 3 inch kits have a variety of parts to help vibrations and drivetrain angle. Do I need anything else or am I good with the lift and nothing else. Any info will be of great help!!! thank you

You don't NEED any additional parts, but some could not hurt.
If you want: get the howler product rear brake line extender, relocate your front lines lower, some quick sway bar discos, remove the rear sway bar, you can re-drill your trac bar over about 1/2", your LCA's should be fine, but they will be more suseptable to bending, you year xj you probably won't need a tc drop but you will have to see, every jeep is different

Took the rear swaybar off my daughter's 90 XJ and she never noticed it. I also, never told her. I took it off mainly for tire/wheel clearance.

I would get LCA's and a new adj. track bar, but wait on the t-case options until you see the full effect of the lift. LCA's and the track bar will both help with your flexing as well as keeping your geometry good.
if you get a lot of driveshaft vibes, get either a t-case drop or an SYE.
