Alright. So I was out driving last night and my XJ would make a popping noise on sharp left turns. And then my front passenger brake/caliper starts squeeking and then some rough vibrations. I don't know if it's CV joints or ball joints. Or if it could be anything else either. Any help would be awesome since this is my daily driver. It's an 89 Cherokee Laredo. Thanks.

It's your trac bar bushings. Replace the 5 dollar bushings and the noise will go away. Vibrations could be caliper out of whack.

Need new extended shocks, brake line relocators, maybe a transfer case drop kit. Seems to be missing some stuff

So, besides the shocks, that's about the major expensive stuff I need??

4.5 inches is a lot of lift on blocks alone, would be nice if it has the rear shackles also. But your heading in the right direction

It's missing most of the important stuff, tc drop kit, sway bar bracket and links, shocks. But I mean 170 for 4.5 lift coils and hd trac bar isn't a bad deal. My trac bar alone was 130. If someone told me they were selling that stuff I would be like 120 lol cause I don't wanna spend my money Haha. But its not to bad of a deal, let a few others guys voice there opinions on this asap
