Default what is needed with 5.5

found out that i have to replace a bunch of parts on the xj so i figured now would be a good time to go up in lift size. what do i need for a 5.5 inch lift kit. besides leaf packs, coils, and shocks?

From what I know you'd need...longer control arms, longer brake lines, t-case drop, possibly sye, and trac bar..o and sway bar links if your wanting to keep them...I'm sure someone with a little more knowledge will chime in and correct me if im wrong.

Control arms both upper and lower (long arms), track bar, brake lines, new shackles, sye with new driveshaft(t-case drop will probably not work for you being that it is an 01),drop pitman arm, just to name a few things. Its gonna be expensive.

Also upgrade your steering system if it's not yet cheap and easy to do
