Like Kuzican said go the extra mile and get all new springs unless you plan on lifting it more within a few years, chances are your current rear leafs are flat and worn out. Your rear swaybar is nearly useless so just take it off while you're under there (that's one of the first things we all took off), and your front sway will be fine. Your stock tierod should be fine as well, you'll just need new shocks from what i know.

No, sway bars prevent body roll, which is where the truck leans to the outside of the turn. The rear swaybar is so thin it doesn't do much, i took mine off and barely felt a difference in the corners.
DO NOT, however, remove your front swaybar. Then it will be very hard to corner without flipping, and if you get hit on the side you're guaranteed to flip. Some guys here rune without swaybars at all, and i say they are fools. Just unbolt them when you get to a trail and invest in some quick disconnects.

I've got one. I had no problems out of it, but I had bump steer because of my lift kit, so I got a new track bar and drop bracket you can have it if you pay for shipping.

1. You can click "go advanced", then look for the paper clip beside the smiley face. Click the paper clip, and click choose file. Click the picture you want, then click "upload" and wait until the picture loads.
2. You can click the picture of the mountain with the moon in the background and enter the URL of the picture you want. For you to be able to do that, you'll need to upload whatever picture you're wanting to your pictures, imgur, photobucket, or some other image hosting site. Once its uploaded there, right click and hit "copy image location" on the image. Paste that into the spot that you were referring to asking for the "URL".

A cop caused all that? I figured it was one of those slack-jawed inspection station people... Either way, I wouldn't just let my car/Jeep/or anything of mine be taken and crushed for something like that. I could understand if I stole it, re-vined it, and try to sell a hot car, but to be something that is mine with no intent to sell, that's a little harsh of the law. I'd find a way to fight it or move to a different state.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. I needed a TC drop after putting on my 3" puck/spacer lift. Maybe it had something to do with the new motor mounts going on at the same time...the old ones were trashed...but regardless I put on the drop and she runs smooth vs. having the DL vibs.
I'm not saying all jeeps do need the TC drop @ 3" lift, but the advice I read was not very helpful being just a one word reply.
All jeeps are different; there may be a possibility he will have to use one is all I'm saying.
