Default 01 XJ lift

I bought a 3” lift. It came with springs for front and back, shocks for front and back. Also the sway bar drop kit.


I have 3” coil spacers and rear shackles already sitting around.

My question is if I want to add those on top of the lift” lift i bought do I need to do anything besides extend the break lines.


Do I need new control arms or anything ? Thanks

You would need a lot. That would be 6 inches of lift. I would go lomg arms after 4.5 inches. Check out this link

You'll need another stimulus check to pay for all the new parts you'll need.

For the front you would need adjustable control arms with a control arm drop kit, or long arms, adjustable track bar, and some steering modifications. The rear would need a slip yoke eliminator, and you would have to shim it so the pinion angle is correct.
