Sorry..... was busy! Front is RE 3.5 coils, pro-comp 1inch alumn spacers, discos, not hooked up yet , stock control arms, RE adjust track bar, also un-installed. Rear, RE 3.5 leaf packs, jks shackles. No sye, or hack n tap. Had tires balanced, they surprisingly balance with little weight, the most on one wheel was 1.25oz, ive even rotated, and cross rotated. I think im gonna try some adj control arms, get my trak bar in, hook up the sway with the discos. Im gonna replace the drivers side ball joints and u joint this weekend. This is my first jeep let alone 4wd vehicle, so im a little lost.

I would agree on this. If you're 4.5" you need a minimum of 16" LA's. You need to have an adj. track bar higher than 3". So get these installed and you should be fine.
Also your pinion angle must be hell right now so keep an eye on that u-joint if you're doing some decent miles until DW is cured.

Cheapest method would be fixed 4.5" lower arms and people run shorts arms all the time on that type lift. Or you can fab your own arms...
