So this is the suspension plan based on my research so far

*Springs - re 4.5 free (upgrade as necessary)
*Upper control arms - re adjustable (upgrade to currie long arms)
*Lower control arms - re short arms (upgrade to currie long arms)
*Track bar - re $70 (upgrade to currie or Iron Man Andy 4x4)
*Leaf spring pack - Re1463 $230 for pair

~Front upper shock mounts - Barnett performance $110 or JKS $55
~Font lower bpe - IRO $30
~Rear bpe - Zone $33 (upgrade to JKSshock brackett) $167
~Shocks - bilsteins $280
~Extended brake lines - rugged ridge $65
~SYE - RE HnT

Sway bar quick discos - JKS 2.5-6 $158
Sway bar drop brackets - ????? Not even sure i need these
Leaf spring shims - ????? Think I'm gonna start with 6 deg
Shackles - IMA4x4 $156
Shackle relocation bracket - IMA4x4 $156
Extended e brake lines - ?????
Pitman Arm - ?????

Spring retainers - ?????
Track bar bracket & brace - synergy mfg $140 or IMA4x4 $70
Tie rod - 93-98 v8 grand cherokee tie rod off ebay $88
Front bump stops - ?????
Rear bump stops - ?????

* already have it and got it cheap
~ My next batch of buys coming very soon

The third group is after the next batch and the rest will come as stuff breaks. I'm also gonna squeeze upgraded steering, tires, armor, bumpers and recovery in there, the only problem there is how expensive each bit is in these categories. All comments, suggestions, corrections welcome.

Thanks,

Jerry
