Hi all. I'm Cliff and I'm a wheel-aholic. I currently drive a 92 xj stock for now. Junkyard lift soon to come. I've built many a toyota and wheeled extensively around disney and chandler park. This is my first Jeep build.

I got the front and rear lower bds adjs control arms with flex ends today. will i need uppers front and rear also or will the lowers get me by for now?? Thanks.

Upper control arms would help with getting your pinion angles closer.

I wouldnt go more than an inch on a tc drop. It gets to be destructive to go any more than that. Motor mounts, fan in radiator ( posiblely) etc.

Ok, I'm being lazy, with my 96 down I do not have time to fix it so ill let one of u have this bronco2 4x4 I aquired for 600$. This is a limited time offer. It needs a flexplate, u will have to trailer it. I can't work on two at once, garage is too small.

Put a Jeep emblem on it, I might be interested. I have done two flexplates on Jeeps. LOL. You sound like me to many projects and not enough time. Need to fix my DD Cherokee. Fix my big Cherokee and fix the Comanche. Then I have a suburban that I don't know what to do with. Did I mention I have a 300zx hit in the front I need to fix. Oh and I can't forget about the newest one...the Cherokee chief. LOL. The cheif needs a lot of work.

You'll be fine with stock uppers until you go over 4.5". Like James P said, 1" max on the tc drop. I wouldn't install a tc drop until after you test drive it and see if you have vibes. Every rig is different. I've seen some at 5" with no drop or sye, I'm at 3.5 and needed a 1"drop.
