I have a 3 inch lift now with a TC drop and have no vibes at all. I just order a 1.5 budget boost, so a total of 4.5. Think ill have any issues with vibes?
Thanks.

If it's the '90 in your SIG, then probably not. Dont' know until you try though.

There's a good possibility you might. You'll know when you put it on. The higher you go, the more noticeable worn ujoints will be too. Ever replaced those?

Going up to 4.5"? Plan on getting adjustable track bar, SYE, longer brake lines, hopefully new arms. That is if you want it done right. IMO. Over 3"+ of lift get ready to spend money if you want it done right.

Don't need brake lines, just relocate them.

If OP has a good jy by him, he can get brakes from other vehicles. There's a thread on here for it

I haven't done ujounts yet. I have an adjustable track bar and have lower control arms coming. I have the rustys crossmember with the TC drop. I was gonna relate brake lines if possible or get tj ones(I believe those are the right ones that'll fit) I guess there's only one way to find out so we'll see if a SYE is needed, I'll just get the IRO hack n tap if I have too. I just wanna get this lift totally dialed in because I'm getting 33s and regearing in September.

may as well do the hack n tap. There's not too many sye choices for the 242, I'm sure you know this. Too many modifications has never been a problem (sometimes yes lol), but too little can be. If you have the bread, do it anyway. I lifted mine in Feb. this year and I'm going up another 2 inches. Make sure you do your research on drive shafts as well.

Im running the same thing.
I have bad vibes, you need to go SYE most likely.

And I also needed brake lines. IRO has some nice ones with brackets for the fronts.

The yj brake lines are the ones you want. Go to autozone and get the lines for a 95 wrangler.
