That's fine, but you'll need an adjustable trackbar at 5" and maybe a drop pitman arm. I can say for sure on control arm lengths. My kit is 4.5 and came with adjustables and a trackbar.

Your lowers center to center for 4.5 kit is 16.5 in. So a 5in lift will be a lil further. Measure what u got and go from there.
Longer shocks. Maybe longer brake lines. Drop kit may not be enough any more. May need sye and longer driveshaft.

You have to wait on drop pitman arm as stock could be ok. Get your track bar and line it up. Then u can see if it is still parallel with the drag link. I recommend v8 zj steering also.
I bought a drop pitman arm i am gonna take back off of my 4.5 lift. It just sits to low and not parallel anymore.
You will need all new shocks.
Steering geometry will have to be worked out at over 3in it starts changing alot.

Hey man if your your looking for a couple extra inches without getting to crazy buy a pair of true two coil spacers, and then head over to the parts store and buy their variable height shackles. They usualy have holes for 1,2, or 3 inches of lift. I use both on my rig and have no troubles at all.
