i would get adjustable stuff, as in control arms and trac bars. that kit is non adj and you will have issues leaving the bb. Y not just get a 6" kit?

If you could list what all I could possibly need to keep my bb and have the long arm kit that would be great. If I sell my bike Friday I'll be ordering parts ASAP

You can keep the BB and add that kit. It comes with a front heavy duty trac bar, if you already have one I would call and talk to them and see if you can drop the front one in place of a rear one. Just make sure your front one will work at 6" of lift. Id also look into longer break lines. Not positive its needed on the WJs but Im pretty sure you will need them.

Iv got the jks trac bar up front, it's supposed to be fully adjustable. I'll look into brake lines too. Im super excited about all this. And a budget boost is used to cheaply add 2in's of lift using poly spacers.
