thanks for the tip, mini im looking at getting the 4.5 inch add a leaf kit from rough country, and was gona pay a off road shop to do it, but if we did i'd wanna go with the full kit ... just no idea about recalibrating the steering and other stuff you'd need to do for a 4.5 inch lift... for example would i aboslutely need the yoke elim. kit? or even the steering stabilizer? after the first 3 goals are met i will definetly get the locker
you only really need to do the sye if you have some bad driveline vibrations... i dont even know if you would need that though cause you have a 2wd...
found this:

they state that: "as far as drivelines, typically 2wd's dont need sye's as soon, the longer driveshafts of a 2wd help with angles.."

the one on ebay was the add a leaf kit i meant to post the link of the 655 dollars one that includes the rears springs but idk it it even makes a diff since it wont be seeing so much off road.. maybe it would be better to just get the add a leaf kit

even if you dont offroad much the add-a-leafs could still sag over time, but i had the add a leaf for my first lift for about 2 years and my stock leaves were terrible and i never noticed it sagging anymore after the lift, and i wasnt that nice to mine in those two years haha, i honestly think you would be fine with the add a leaf, and if it does sag eventually then spend the money on new packs, they arent super expensive if you just get the leaf packs alone
Ok I think im going to go with the add a leaf pack but maybe to fill in the extra money I could get the 6.5 inch kit? But if I did this would the sye kit be a neccesity or is there anything else that would be be absolutely a neccesity? Remember its 2wd
Of course man. Just wish it was warmer outside haha. And if you see anymore wheels and tires for that price let me now! With a 4.5 inch lift your gonna want 32's cause it clears them perfectly! But I would even go with 33's on a 4.5"!!
