I am a very new member but have read most of the popular threads such as the beginners guide. Browsing the forums has been a lot of help, but I figured I make my own post! My plans with the jeep: Travel and moderate-high overlanding.
I have a 01 Sahara TJ with no lift and 30" tires and been debating whether I should put a lift on my TJ or not. Lifting my TJ above 3" seems like a lot of money and work, esp with my 3.07 gear ratio. This leaves me to decide between putting together my own lift kit or buying something like the OME 2.5" kit. Still not sure yet, but I plan on putting together my own kit. Just wanted to see if I am completely missing something or doing anything wrong. Well here is what I was planning on putting on the jeep
3" front 2" back BDS coils
JKS front and rear trackbar
Currie Antirock Front
Rancho RS5000X shocks for 2-3 in” lift
Steering stabilizer (still don't know which one yet)
Adams Driveshaft Heavy Duty Front 1310 CV Greaseable Driveshaft
YJ extended break lines
SYE (Slip Yoke Eliminator) (unsure which one)
Will I need adjustable control arms? Recommendations on which SYE and driveshaft I should be looking at would be greatly appreciated. Again, don't hesitate to tell me I don't know what the hell I'm doing or If I'm missing anything. This is all hypothetical anyways. Haven't bought anything yet.
