Default Junk Yard Lift

I found on 4.5in rubicon express leaf packs and 4.5in rough country springs at a junk yard. What else other than shocks would I need to buy to throw a kit like that together?

So is it easier just to buy a whole new lift kit?

50 for springs 50 for leaf pack. The Springs are brand new though they were in the vehicle when it was wrecked in a box

You can find everything but the LCAs that will work for that height at the JY anyway.

There's several trucks you can get longer shocks off of, 95 Dakota brakelines bolt right up and are much longer, bump stops are easy.

$100 for what the OP found is definitely worth the money.
