In the process of obtaining a lift kit for my 2000 Sport. First lift I've ever done on a jeep, so I was wondering if anyone knows what all I will have to replace with a 2.5-3in.

Brake lines?
Transfer case drop?
Steering linkage?
Sway bar Links?

Thanks guys!

 

Welcome to the Forum!

When I bought my XJ it had a 3" lift and I found out my passenger SB link was rubbing the coil. I found and bought THESE for a good price. They've worked great so far, and you could easily make them disconnects.

I dont have any driveline alterations (SYE or TC drop) and I dont have any vibes.

My thoughts? Every Jeep is different so just install the lift and check from there if its not your DD. Unless you have the money to burn right from the get-go

 

Welcome to the forum!


Will try to answer in the order asked.


Brake lines...all that is needed is to relocate the line mount or remove.


TC Drop......Usually a good idea.


Steering Linkage.....You should buy an Adj. Track Bar.


Sway bar links... I would buy an Adj. SB Disconnect kit one that fits all lifts.


Other items may be needed as other details are needed such as tire/wheel size for one.

 

When I was at my first lift(2.5-3) Only thing that needed to be done was straighten the hard brake line to gain a couple more inches. the rear line will likely need a longer one. I had not Tcase drop or SYE with no vibrations, And I also use the stock swaybar end links, even at my current lift(4+)
