I bought my cherokee with what looks to be a 4" cheap-o skyjacker lift kit on it. My brother in law has a cool control arm drop kit that is about $200 bucks. I am thinking why not spend a little more and get a long arm upgrade kit...

The kit says that it will work for a 4" or 6" lift. Is there anything else for the front end that I would need to use this and in the future, if I wanted to go up to 6" would I just get new coils and shocks?
I am aware I would need a sye and new leafs would have to be done in the rear and I think I may do a hack and tap now anyways, just wondering about the front end.
Thanks in advance for any help

Yes, it should be in Advanced Tech.
I will move it.
You will need to address steering geometry. Probably brake lines. And track bar. New, longer travel shocks. Maybe limiting straps.

Thanks for moving in proper place. I figured track bar, shocks and brake lines. Didn't think about steering geometry though. What needs to be done with that?
