3.5" to 5.5" lift
Ok so im wanting some more lift without having to buy a whole new kit...as far as i know i will need.
1. 2" Coil spacers and rear blocks.
2. Transfer case drop.
3. Possibly extended brake lines.
4. And im guessing a drop pitman arm.
I have adjustable LCA's...o and wondering if i'll need to get longer shocks also?
If i missed anything please fill me in...im gonna do all the price adding and see if its worth piecing it together, or just wait and save up for the full kit and just sell mine afterwards.lol

1. 2" Coil spacers and rear blocks.You'll regret the blocks...VERY quickly
2. Transfer case drop.at 5.5" of lift......SYE.
3. Possibly extended brake lines.Definitely!
4. And im guessing a drop pitman arm. No, common misconception.

Blocks are ok if you do mild wheeling, im at 5.5" and I can get away without an sye, I only have a tcase drop..everything else answered previously is spot on...I would Suggest a drop Pitman, or at least one from a zj...

if you have a Rusty's 3.5" lift like you have listed in your sig then you SHOULD have a stock shackle...
