Default Lift Kit Question

This is my first post on the forums. I have a '96 Jeep Cherokee XJ. As of right now, everything on it is stock. I'm planning on putting a 4.5" RC lift kit, along with 33" tires. I was wondering if there are any other mods I need to add, to make it safer, ride better, etc. Thanks in advance.

Extended brake lines, adjustable trac bar, SYE, trimmed fenders, new rear axle if you have a D35, heavier duty steering linkage, rims w/ less backspacing. Just to name a few

X2 on all that
I have a 2000 I put a 4 1/2 rough country lift, came with the transfer case drop but I'm still aiming for a SYE. As for the steering I actually started a thread "4 1/2 lift with stock steering" there's alot of useful info in there about where to get an adjustable track bar and ZJ tie rod. I ordered mine yesterday. Let me know if you have any more questions

I just installed a 4.5" RC lift on a customers 99xj. Came with brake line extensions and shocks and sway bar extensions. For the track bar we relocated the stock lower mounting hole 3/4". I prefer a new track bar.

The 32 11.5 tires I also installed rubbed still in the front. Back was ok.

Also installed a transfer case lowering kit. Which I personally would never have. But it does help with vibes.
