You could do a few things with the steering. But you dont really need to do anything, maybe a beefier tierod like from a ZJ for more strenght. You will be ok on stock steering. All I have is a ZJ tierod as far as steering goes but thats not because of lift. Its becuse I dont want to break the stock one offroading.

that last pic i posted was seconds after the lift was completed back in november. it was hard to measure b/c i was allready trimmed. but i got 4.5 rear and 4.25 in the front. full leaf packs and shackles. Front was 3" coils with 3/4 stock stlye spacer stacked with the stocker.

JKS quicker discos, IRO HD stabilizer, RC adjustable Tracbar, RC leafs,IRO coils springs and spacers, RC 1.5" shackles. RC shocks. The standard ones, hence the jouncy ride. TC drop kit for now.

No extended brake lines yet. I just straightened my stock lines out. Which is fine for mallcrawlers. I have no issues except i have to trim a tiny bit more.

Don't forget back spaced rims. I'm on 3.75" American Racing AR-23s 15x10 wrapped with duratracs.
