Yeah in the end youll save like a 100 bucks. Itll ride nicer and when you go 4x4 youll be ready. Though I would be curious how the LAs would mount to the front 2wd axle. Are the CA mounts on the same place?

Good point because the CAD shifts the lower arms forward, I ended up with adjustable uppers and lowers to get jeep dialed-in.

If you keep the stock gears, jeep will run like a 3 leg dog on the highway.

Mine does 75mph fine with stock gears and 33x12.50 If I'm going up a big hill I'll run 65 no big deal. Not worth the money IMO.

Alright now I've got everything I believe.

Coils
Leafs
Shackles
Brake lines
Shocks
Steering stabilizer
Track bar
Rims
Tires
Sway bar links

I don't need an SYE, it's 2wd at the moment

Without an SYE you will probably need a drop for the x member.
