3" Suspension+2" Shackle question
I currently have a 3" rough country suspension lift, I was thinking about getting a 2" coil spacer/shackle kit to bring my lift up to 5", what else would I have to buy to do this? Would I have to buy t-case kit and sye? I've heard that until I go beyond 6" of lift I dont have to change anything but I might have to do a t-case drop?

Should be fine with the crossmember drop with 5" lift I had 4.5" lift in my old Xj with 1" crossmember drop and never had a bit if trouble

i have a 4.5" lift and a 1" cross member drop and mine still vibrates. sye is on the way to cure it. you likely wont but there is no telling if you will have issues or not cause all jeeps and lifts are different. it makes sense if you dont think about it.

I have the np242, not the 231....I've heard I could get away with just the brake lines and crossmember drop, sound about right? I did the 3'' but want to go higher but its startin to get a lil confusing lol

look at what comes in a 4.5" lift.
now look at what you have with your 3" lift.
add everything that the 4.5" lift has that your 3" lift doesnt if you want to do it "right"
and then you have the driveline and steering to address
