Well, in the past couple of days I have seen countless threads on "What do I need to lift my Jeep," "How can I gain two more inches of lift," etc. etc.

So, I put together a list of whats needed at certain sizes of lits, and companies of where to purchase these items from. I'm hoping to get this made a sticky/FAQ so I want to make sure I'm not missing anything in here.

Any input you guys have is great, here's what I got so far:

Parts needed to accomplish desired amount of lift.

3"
Recommended
-Full Leaf Packs
-3" Coil Springs
-Shocks
-Lower Control Arms
-Relocate Brake Lines
Other Ways
-Bastard pack leaf springs
-Lift shackles
-Lift blocks
-Coil spacers
-Add-a-leaf rear

Anything over 3" (Note: all these parts may not be necessary for YOUR application)

Recommended
-Full pack leaf springs w/ lift shackles
-New brake lines front and rear
-Longer shocks front and rear
-Full coil springs up front
-Lower and Upper control arms
-Adjustable track bar w/ track bar drop bracket
-Slip Yoke Eliminator/Transfer Case drop
-Lower control arm drop brackets or Long arms
-Sway bar disconnects
Other Ways
-Bastard pack rear w/ shackles or lift blocks
-3" or so coil spring front w/ coil spacers
-Transfer case drop
-Lower control arms

Going from basic lift to higher lift
-If you have a 2 or 3 inch spacer and shackle/add a leaf setup, your best bet is to ditch these and start fresh with the list mentioned above.
-If you have full coils/leaf packs there are numerous ways to accomplish more lift
-Coil spacers for the front
-Blocks/lift shackles/add-a-leaf for the rear
-You will also need to address front end components, as well as steering components and transfer case issues when you start getting this high. Again, refer to the list above.

good call. Nothing wrong with hack n taps serve the same purpose as an SYE and are half the price.
