Hey can you help me out with a couple of links for parts? The names they give for parts are not the same terminology that we use so it's a little confusing.
Like this one says "Tie rod end" but shows products of just the ends as well as the tie rods themselves.

Then on this page it shows result for "Center link" but then shows trac bars as well as drag link parts.

Napa and Advance Auto parts isn't any different.

From the V8 ZJ tie rod upgrade thread ( https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/zj-...upgrade-22717/ ) :
Qty.1 #DS1312 Tie Rod (aka the rod w/TRE)
Qty.1 #DS1238 Drag Link
Qty.2 #ES3096L Short Tie Rod Ends(1 by pitman, 1 by outer driver side)
Qty.2 #ES2079S Adjustment Sleeves
Those are Moog part numbers, you should be able to cross-reference to brand of choice.
I find that 1.5" TC drop to be a bit on the extreme side, did you just jump right to it or work your way up to it? I did a 3" Zone AAL lift on my 98 and was experiencing vibs between 35 and 50 mph. As a temporary solution I dropped the TC 7/8" and it cleared it up right away. I do plan on doing a SYE in the future, along with new trans and motor mounts. It is just that I have to work in the driveway and it is winter up here.
No, I don't lick fish.

Do you guys think I could run 33's with a 3.5 inch lift without trimming? I don't think I can

You won't be able to turn at all. I hacked off half my fender behind the front tires, and I still had clearance issues after adjusting tire stops

I put a 3in RC lift on my 2001 xj but it got tboned and the stock leaf spring brackets broke but luckily we found a 3in rubicon leaf spring set and got those. Could I put the leaf spring from the addaleaf RC lift into the rubicon leaf springs? How much would it lift it? The RC came with one leaf for the 3in so adding it to the rubicon set would make 6in?? How big of a coil spacer would I need to even it out?

Lol You may consider Bushwacker flat flares. They give a clean, almost OEM look, but they offer far more clearance
im just scared to fold or cut my fenders because of paint cracking
Oh and on the extended brake lines for my rear what year jk lines are they? And front or rears? Im about to order some they have different diameter ones so idk which ones. http://m.autozone.com/autozone-mobil...xt=Brake+lines
