Nothing else needed as far as the lift. You might want longer shocks but if you dont plan on offroading even those are not 100% neccessary. On my first XJ I installed a 3inch and I didnt need anything else.

1. Coil springs
2. Leaf Springs , Or Add A Leaf (Full Leaf Packs run more and are worth the extra cost.)
3. Lower control Arms (Recommended, But the flimsy stock ones will work.)
4. ADJ Trac bar, Or Bracket for stock Trac bar (I perfer going with an Adjustable Trac bar.)
5. T-Case Drop (Some Jeeps need them some do not.)
6. Extended Steel Brakelines ( Smart thing to have I always put them on everything I Lift. )
Read my Build thread, You'll see a breakdown of what I have bought for my RE 3.5" lift I have put together for $665 including bilstein 5100 shocks. Piecing together my lift I have saved roughly $400 over the cost of the Kit and shocks alone !

We all know what you are saying, you have not discovered anything new here but not everyone needs that.
