You probably won't need the rear drive shaft with the Unlimited. Especially with doing the body lift and MML.
I will say the OME shocks were great on smooth highways. Nice and tight/stable. But areas like expansion joints where highway and bridges meet, patched asphalt, man hole covers, etc, would jar you pretty hard.

Ok cool ! I am certainly starting to understand the whole just empty every pocket ! Ha! I thought my Nova cost me a lot of money , it’s not near as money hungry as my LJ .Trust me, unless you’re a sensitive Sally, you’ll barely notice it.
so
1.25 savvy body lift
Antirock
OME springs
Rancho shocks
Currie adjustable front and rear track bars
Motor lift
so this should allow me to run 33 safely. XS? Thanks for all your help
Ok cool !! One less thing ! Ha! Yes I am gonna go with those ranchero shocks everyone seems to like !

And yes, dropping 10k on one of these things is very, very easy. I spent 45k on my last one, not including the cost of the vehicle
Looks like a good list. If you do all the above and experience driveline vibes then you can drop the Tcase until you can do a sye and Tom woodsOk cool !

So on the front and rear adjustable track bars , is there a particular one you recommend by Currie ? I have just rebuilt the front and rear suspension but I am all stock . Thanks, KegYessir!

I've been running Antirocks for 16-17 years adjusted to their least stiff setting. I regularly tow my pop-up tent trailer through the mountains on tight twisty roads, I keep up with traffic, and I have zero issues... it handles fine. This who claim it doesn't are victims of of the power of suggestion and the rumor mill. Or they running soft mushy or worn out shocks.
Thanks !! I appreciate your input on this since you pull trailers as well
Do they make a front and rear or just front ? Have you run both of they do ? Thanks
It wouldn't hurt but not absolutely necessaryWould extended links be a good idea with me only having 33’s on 16 inch rims and a 1.25 body lift and 2inch spring lift ? Thanks
What kind should I be looking at ? Doing a Currie track bar in rear as suggests on previous posts ,
For a 2" lift all you need in the rear is an inexpensive track bar relocation bracket which will recenter your rear axle. Some are made for specific lift heights, get one closest to your 2" lift. But with only 2" you really barely need one.
I have a similar setup with a 2-2.5” spring lift and 1.25” body lift.
I installed the track bar relocation bracket that came with my lift, and that has been fine.
I ran with stock rear sway bar links with that kit for over a year and it was fine. I did notice the rear e-brake line did sit on the sway bar though. Never an issue due to that though.
I did end up replacing the rear sway bar links with some that were a little longer. The only difference I’ve noticed is the e-brake cable doesn’t touch the sway bar any more. The ones I got were these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006GJM3HM/?tag=wranglerorg-20

I needed this thread!
I am looking for the same setup with my 2001 TJ Sport. I have been strongly considering OME lift kit / springs with Rancho RS5000X shocks. This thread gives me the details I am looking for on what other parts I am going to need.
OP please keep updates coming! I'll be following.
