U will need a pair of control arms for the front and rear and a good se of shocks. Also a make sure u have good tierods and steering components. With that amount of lift u will mostlikely be running big tires(35+)

Also get a drive shaft angle reduction kit or a slip yoke eliminator.

braves7pro

You could do a tc drop bu I don't think that it is needed.

SeriousOffroad

8.5" is really tall. You're well into LongArm territory at that height.

braves7pro

im not planning on doing long arms yet. im jus try to go tall and basic.
if i get:
8.5 in coils
6.5 in leafs
2 in shackles
shocks
stabilizer
brake lines
sye
what else do i need?

IZAREBL

a good set of helpful hands and six pack

braves7pro

oh yea. would i need both upper and lower control arms.

SeriousOffroad

Adjustable trackbar
control arm drop brackets


My $.02:
Do it once, do it right.
Save your money and go LongArms when you can afford it. It will save you money and headaches in the long run.

braves7pro

what is the difference with long arms

SeriousOffroad

Of course.

Your caster angle will be crap without the proper length upper and lower arms.
