with 4.5" you can do either the tc drop or sye and drive shaft, the sye and drive shaft is the best way to go

I just finished my lift. I went with:
1. adjustable lca's for 4-8" lift set at 16.5"
2. quick disconnects for 4-8" lift
3. 4.5" coils with extra isolator
4. s10 main and second leaf for bastard pack with the rest of xj pack
5. 2.5" shackles.
6. adjustable track bar.
7. Longer Shocks
8. 1" TC drop.
9. Longer Break lines
Everything seems to work great so far. My brake lines were too short to accommodate the lift. My lift ended up at 5.5" over stock height. I hope i did not forget anything. The lift took 4 hrs. to install between two guys.
Good luck! Post pics when done please.
