Shocks,Brake lines,A sye kit and new rear driveshaft and the steering linkage needs to be upgraded.And honestly i would skip rough country for a better brand like rubicon express or serious off road.If you want a kit that comes with everything but the steering http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...Path=419_2040&

Rough Country is fine. Its not a competition kit but its a solid kit from a company that offers great customer service and you get a 10% Cherokee forum discount if you call in. I just added a Rough Country double shear trac bar (pn 1079) that everyone hates on but its solid. All you will need is a SYE/Dshaft as the kit comes with extended brake lines and all the extras you need to include a trac bar and their pitman arm. You can do an Iron Rock Hack n Tap SYE for $99 then run a stock XJ front Dshaft. Most of the time you can find an XJ front shaft at the junkyard for $10-30. I paid $9.99 for an XJ shaft at my local PYP.

it is not something you need to do right away although it will eventually need to be done. I ran my old 99 on stock steering with 33's for over a year on an Iron Rock Offroad 4" long arm lift and it was as tight as can be when I sold it. I am not a hardcore wheeler though mainly used it to get me back and forth to work. You can upgrade to a v8 ZJ setup which again if you have a pick you part will cost you maybe $40. I know my local LKQ will charge me around $20-30 for the ZJ steering depending who is working.
