    alright. i ordered my 4 inch supension lift. w/ out shocks. i figure that i will go with the new rancho 9000x shocks.. depending on my future budget. but neways.. am i going to need an SYE kit? .. the 4inch suspension kit comes with the following:
    (4) new coil springs
    quick disconnect from anti-sway bar links
    transfer case drop shims
    emergency brake cable extension
    3rd brake light relocation bracket
    bump stop extensions
    Engineered to relocate suspension and drive-train components for easier alignment, proper drive-line angles and better handling ...
    is there anything else i will be needing ? a drop pitman control arm? or.. what.. im kind of new with this stuff. .. the tires i will be getting are 33x12.5 .. but yeah not sure to either go with the bfg m/t or the procomp m/ts .. .. can someone please give me input .. or an opinion on what i should do...

    Maybe 40 hours including dialing in the control arms and track bars, but thats alot of measuring! igofshn is right, it shouldnt take that long. Just make sure you have everything before you start, or have another vehicle to drive to the hardware store. It always figures that something is missing and your sitting there with a torn apart Jeep, and no way to get anywhere. Let us know how it goes.

    Just get a couple buddies, 4 jack stands, 1 hydraulic jack and an assortment of sockets and wrenches and your good to go.

    Of course my entire project would of gone a bit faster if I had of had some air tools.

    On a side note anything higher than a 1-inch body lift is rather ugly in my opinion. Just becareful on them body lifts.

    I threw on a 1-inch body lift and a motor mount lift on top of my 3-inch suspension lift and with all the available space between my tire and fender Im sure I could squeeze in a set of 35's.
    40 manhours??? what were you doing? I did mine withou help in less than 8 hours. TJ lifts are really simple.

    Not hard at all. You just need some basic hand tools and a little know how. Dont forget, at that much lift you'll need a SYE as well, or a super huge t-case drop (but that kinda undoes what you just did). You might not even need a 2 inch BL, a 1 inch should be fine to fit 35's. Let us know how it goes.
