Retirement and TJ hobby

[osprey92]

Retiring in spring of 2022. Ordered control arm kit and looking for what other suspension work would likely need to be done. 2013 TJ, teraflex 3 inch lift, new shocks. Looking for some sage advise on what else to look for while I'm under the jeep.

2013 TJ?

Doh, 2003

If you have not done so, do plenty of reading on setting control arm length as well as bump stops. Properly cycling suspension will set you up for problem free articulation in the future.

Well, when you crawl out from under it you may want to look for a part time job to pay for all the things you will eventually do to it so you don’t have to break into your retirement funds

SYE?

And a DC shaft. Track bars too

All good answers - to me the ultimate answer is whatever it takes to make it work right, drive good and be dependable- I know this is is terribly general but my point is stay open minded and get well aquainted with how it all works underneath - they have a lot going on under them.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to the project. Time to learn how suspensions work.
