Well I guess all I have to do is find a dang jeep!!!!!! LOL I figure in a week or two. Then ill save to do the lift for spring/summer along with tires and what not.
Other then a kit (RC 6.5 la kit) what else to I need?
tc drop, sye, steering stabilizer??
Sorry to thread jack, but I love your jeep and wouldnt mind to build mine like yours lol
another good thing is Ill be getting rid of my bike and mustang to fund this project.

I wish i had money.....
But i have RE superflex adjustable upper and lower control arms, will be full coils-no spacer, sway bar disco's, in the rear i have full springs with lift shackle. i do NOT have SYE but a 1" longer driveshaft with a 1" longer yoke. i dont have any bind or vibes (altho i would recommend a SYE- IRO SYE w/ driveshaft is like $200).
with 6.5" look at upgrading the steering. I have had no issues but it is next on my list of things to do when i get a job.

So buy the lift kit install and get the sye, then see what else I need. Sound like a plan? It won't be a dd so if it sits for a while till I get other parts thats fine.

exactly! and look into the IRO LA 3 link kit rather than the RC LA kit. Better quality.
Oh and longer Brake lines are a must!

I'm unfamiliar with this iro kit. How reliable is it? I just looked it up real quick, better be nice seems pricey. I'll definitely research it some more.
Do you have any reason for choosing them over RC?

RC is really shotty on quality. Some have great experience's some have horrible. There is really no in between.... IRO has good quality across the board. and i have seen their kits personally. Both kits personally. But the IRO has always withstood better

i think i know why your springs are saggy...might be the slight fact your bumper weighs 300lbs...haha
The high lift Idea looks pretty good. Think you'll catch any more prize tree limbs??
