Default what else do i need? 4.5 lift

ive been peicing together a 4.5 lift so far ive got 3" coils and leaf pack and 1.5 spacer and 1.5 shackles, longer rc lower control arms, lift shocks and extended brake lines. i plan to just drill the hole for the trac bar untill i find a good deal on an adjustable one. so what else will i need? like transfer case drop or degree shims?

A tcase drop at least. Possibly even an SYE, DS, and shims. But other then that, everything else sounds pretty good.

Because they do not read the "All lift questions go here" thread or SEARCH.

def! X2 on the track bar. call RC and mention the forum and get a 10% discount which is pretty cool. as for the rear drive line it depends what transfer case you have. i have the NP242 so not allot of options. i went and did the hack n tap route.

it was on ebay when I built mine, might have to search around for awhile. It IS NOT one of the hem joint ones, just an adj bar with the tie rod end on it.

works good though.

$25 t case drop will fix vibes, i have the np242 as well.

you didnt mention you had leafs?
