Default lifting my jeep, need help

I'm putting a 4.5" RC lift on my Jeep then 2" spacers and 3" blocks in the rear to account for sag. I'm concerned about not having the upper control arms, the drop pitman arms, or the track bar adjustment? I am going to put a steering stabilizer on. Any suggestions?

Dont do the spacers on the front with the springs nor the blocks. Either full springs,bastard packs, or shackles in the rear. Blocks on jeeps .
My opinion save your money for the next step in 4.5" kits they offer thats a complete kit with adjustable arms.

Buying the 4.5" RCX X-Series kit and 2" shackles, and found a SYE kit for my NP242. After reading, it became very clear what I needed to do.
