The never ending maintenance, no such thing as too much.

Not really a upgrade but will be needed

If you haven't already..Go get some PB blaster and hit all the nuts and bolts. Get it ready to install the lift.

Hit the back leaf upper shackle bolts big time, also the rear upper shock bolts.


Soak the **** out of everything you see that will be coming off a few days before lift is installed.

I always keep one in the XJ,the wife's Blazer,and in the garage. Sprayed my o2 sensors for a few days recently then ran it when I was ready to change them. Came out like they were just put in.

Thanks for all the ideas guys. I ended up getting some pb blaster to loosen up the bolts. The lift came in and i was headed to my buddys house to put it in when i burnt up a wire in the brain box. so then i loaded it on a trailer and hauled it to another buddys house of mine who is an excellent mechanic to fix it. so still waiting to put my lift on. haha

+1 on the ZJ tie rod upgrade.

Also can do extended brake lines by getting lines for a Dodge Dakota and some Dodge vans.
