I'm gonna put 4.5" lift coils on my 96 Grand Cherokee with a 318.
What all do you need besides lift coils, shocks, and different driveshafts?
Do I need long arms or just adjustable ones? longer trackbar?

Sideways99

longer brake lines
may not need new ds
alignment after

ajk2005

Do they have brake line extensions or would I need to run new lines from the master cylinder?

Sideways99

when you order your kit do so by phone that way the dealer of your choice can give you all the info you should need

ajk2005

I'm not ordering a kit. I'm gonna do a custom lift. Different brands and gonna piece it together..

Unless I can find a decent lift for around $600

Well, you're gonna definitely need to address your trackbars. Your axles will be shifted to opposite sides if you don't do anything. You might not need new DS's. You'll also want at the very least new CA's, with the stock CA's, you're starting to run the risk of serious vibes from the pinion angles being off from that much lift. The ride quality will suffer greatly as well. Grab a set of adjustable arms, so you can fine tune the axle placement and pinion angle.

Long arms are nice, but for the average wheeler, I don't believe they're needed. Set up correctly you'd ride nicer than stock, and flex like a ****, but most people don't need them.

I wouldnt piece it together. Your gonna rape yourself with the shipping of each individual part. Its gonna cost you alot more in the long run.

Piecing a kit together can help you save alot of money. I pieced mine together in the year I was deployed, and I'm in mine under $500. That's both TB's, coils, 8 CA's, and quick disco's.

Should i get a adjustable track bars or relocation brackets?

blackjack12982

The brackets have a nasty habit of coming loose or snapping off completely.

ajk2005

So my goal is to get the following:
4 upper adjustable control arms
4 lower adjustable control arms
front/rear adjustable track bars
4.5" lift coils
longer shocks
Sway bar quick disconnects

Anyone know of a good place to get it cheap?
Will I need a pitman drop arm?

blackjack12982

Cheap, hmm probably not. Look around in the classifieds on all the forums, that's how I picked mine up, but again I had a year to purchase the pieces.

There's really no way to know if you'll need a DPA until everything is installed. You'll just have to check the angles then.

How's that to start off with?

blackjack12982

That's a good start, but you still need to address track bars with that. You can get that lift for the same price from Rough Country, or if you look around at online stores they offer discounts.

ajk2005

I was just checking out roughcountry's website..
The deal is I have some extra money and it's burning a whole in my wallet.. lol
I think I'm just gonna shop around a while and find deals on each part and just put it on as I go.
Would 4.5 lift coils on stock control arms be a bad idea?
