Default Anyone making a kit to go from 3" to 4.5".

Ok, thought the threads her I've gathered almost all I need to add 1.5"-2" to a rc 3" inch. I'm wondering if anyone makes this kit all in one package? What I'm missing is shocks, are the shocks in the 3" kit same as shocks for 4.5? I've read rc's tc drop kit sucks....who makes a better one? And what control arms need to be replaced?

shocks should be okay for now. lower control arms will need to be replaced. Track bar will need to be replaced with an adjustable one or relocate the stock one. brake lines will need to be replaced with longer ones or relocate the hardlines. Theres not much to a trans drop kit, buy one if you can't afford a sye.

Ive been pricing out the upgrades.
Rough Country:
Adj, Lcas and Ucas
Tc drop kit
Front 1.5" spacers
Steel braided brake lines for front and rear
Trac bar relocation kit
Longer sway bar links

Issue is, the jeep has read 3" add a leafs so I wanna replaced with full new spring packs. And I'm wondering if the shocks will be long enough??? I'm really leaning towards just buying the whole kit from rc and tossing the rear leafs, front springs, and all shocks...or at least saving them for some one else. I like the idea of piecing it together cause I can acquire the parts slowly instead of dropping almost $900 on the kit...plus tax.....plus shipping....
