Default so im about to get my lift, but...

Hey guys Im getting a good deal on the 4.5 RC x-flex lift with cad, sye I actually wanted more of a 5.5" lift but I can't pass this up. My question is, if i wanted to add some .75" or 1" shackles, would I need bigger shocks than what comes with the kit, and would I need to change anything that comes with the kit such as track bar for a different one? Would I need a drop pitman arm? Etc. Any info would help greatly. I'm hoping to hear I can just get the kit, the shackles and spacers and be done haha

Thanks guys

is it full packs or add-a-leaf. does the kit come with a shackle already?
You could do spacers and longer shackles if it doesnt come with them, or if it comes with short shackles.
I would hope that it comes with an adjustable track bar anyway.
You should have a drop pitman arm at that height, but your track bar mount has to be lowered as well.
Shocks may or may not work, down in florida its probably fine. You will loose down travel but seeing that most people down there run mud it probably wont matter.
Brake lines will need to be addressed.

It comes with full leafs I would be purchasing the shackles and spacers separate. The brake lines I can do. It also comes with an adjustable track bar. So I would need a drop pitman arm?

I'm from Tennessee, it's a daily driver and the offroading it will see will be mud and rocks like creeks and creek beds. Bit my concern is more for daily driving because that's what I do most.
