I'm at 4" on stock steering. You should be fine. But you should definitely have it on your list to upgrade in the future.

I'd guess that at 4.5", he has an adjustable one on the old rig and he'll be transferring that over, yes?

this is what I'm running with my 4.5" lift. semi stock steering hasnt given me any problems yet. and if it has I haven't really noticed. the rubicon track bar bracket actually set my track bar a little lower than my drag link IIRC

Yea running a 4.5 lift i would make sure to upgrade the following to avoid death wobble: adjustable track bar (and bracket), new tie rod , check to make sure your drag links are good

Does anyone know where to get new draglinks? I've looked and haven't been able to find one that'll fit a 2000 w/ a 3 inch lift
