Stock shocks will suck and ride like crap, also severly handicapping your flex. You dont need extended sway bar disconects at 3.5 inches. Also, get brake lines, brakes are important.

Just by eyeballing and feeling how it drives I'd say at least an inch or 1 1/2 more tire sticking out on driver side. I still need shocks, haha this lift is hard and tight rides a little rough front coils seem stiffer theh what I think should be but I do need shocks all the way Around. We will see still got to invest more time, I have a extending drive shaft I plan to put in as well it was on the other jeep and with it extended its longer than what I have so I think it should work good

Well don't put it in if it extends too much, is it adjustable? If you don't have any vibes I'd just leave it alone. For the relocating of the track bar it's just a simple unbolt, center and drill. Did you relocate the brakes?

Not yet im gonna don it all at once tonight. I have a5 speed and I have a driveshaft out of an automatic witch I believe is a bit shorter that's y I'm worried about it being to short and falling out when I flex. The new drive shaft is extendable any reason not o run it?

You should be fine, I was just skeptical about if it was a fixed shaft and might be to long, but it sounds like slowly but surely you'll be done soon

Looks good! Did you get an adjustable or just drill a new hole for the track bar? and get rid of that flap under the bumper lol
