Ok So I have decided on a basic lift kit, what else should I get?
So my 89' Is my daily driver but spends a ton of time sitting at the shop while I run around in my service truck. Lets just say in the last 2 weeks I drove it twice. So as it stands I'm trimmed in the front, cut and rolled in the back, and have a set of off set steels with 31's under it right now. I'm looking at going with this kit from Fat Bob's. http://4x4.fatbobsgarage.com/jeep-ch...001-p8703.aspx . Reason being that my rear springs are still in great shape and I don't want or need to be jacked to the sky with this thing. I'm if anything going to measure for proper shocks so I have a ton of down travel so of course it will get bump stopped and strapped accordingly. I'm just curious if there is anything else I should look at installing at this point. AND please none of the just get this kit and be done stuff, I paid $1700.00 for the XJ and at this point don't want or need to stick a major lift kit in it.
Thanks,
Thanks,

OK,
1) Shackle re-locator kit.
2) Extended brake lines.
3) Bump Stops.
4) Limiting straps
5) Flex, Measure and buy correct length shocks
6) Front sway bar disco's

8) Spare tire mount
9) Roof rack
10) Traction device(s)
11) Gas tank skid if you don't have one. OEM tank skids are just fine
You probably dont need limiting straps for a 2" lift
Since you're an Autobody Tech I probably don't have to mention removing the interior carpet and Herculining it, but that's my next project.
