lots of good advise already. but i would agree with removing rear sway bar, front disconnects and let the suspension move around, Its amazing how much further the front end will drop without the front sway bar.

I would agree with just throwing the rear bar away.

If you do go long arm (not needed at 4.5") I would stay away from the RC long arms unless your ok with buying some new joints for it that will last, (another 150+$ lol)

hell im fine spending the extra $150 for decent joints considering id be saving much more by going RC than i would with other big brands, last time i checked RCs long arm upgrade kit was about 3-400 cheaper than most others, and ive never had an issue with my rough country kit[4.5" short arm] in the 5yrs ive run it yet everyone swore i would, one of the reps is on jeepforum and they are pretty good bout fixing issues with a product.

They were $130. A decent deal compared to $165 that I was finding them for everywhere.

They're $149 at Quadratec. That's where I got mine when I ordered my OME setup.
