Do i need to do anything else to my jeep so i dont break anything with a 4" lift?

i just got a 4" lift with


*Front and Rear easy ride Leaf Springs


*Front and Rear U-Bolts


*Bump Stop Snubbers


*Front and Rear Track Bar Brackets


*Power Steering Pitman Arm


*Transfer Case Lowering Kit


*4 Hydro 8000 Shocks (with black boots)


*Extended Sway Bar Links


And i was just wondering if I i need to get a slip yoke eliminator or a new front traction bar or something like that. But i just dont want to rub or anything. I was also thinking about shackles for about another 2". I really just want to know everything.

Do i need to do anything else to my jeep so i dont break anything with a 4" lift?
ya i would say go with the slip yoke eliminator and a new longer drive shaft that way you dont blow those up or your t-case. but other then that since you have a YJ theres really nothing else. oh and if you dont have one already a steering stabilizer kit will be good too not necessary but its cheap and will help from your steering from wobbling.





finally about your shackles id do it just make sure your shocks are long enough for the added flex you can get with the 2" and if you get the drive shaft make sure you get that after you decide on the added 2" shackles.





oh and dont forget to change out your gears as well since you will probably be putting 35s with the 6"
Reply:Steering stabilizer...YES!





another 2 inches...maybe.





You need to think about the added weight and if you increase tire size you will lose a little power...work on balancing it all out...(10.5X31 rub a little on my girlfriends YJ) but you learn not to turn it that far...





May need a gear change, free up the exhaust, increase airflow, etc.





quick releases for the sway bar up front will give you more wheel travel, too...
Reply:jeeps are built for offroading, and you really upgraded it, good job :), 33" to 35" clear you enough but if you get any "battle scars" (broken stuff) just fix it, it comes with the territory, or as we say "It's a Jeep Thing"
Reply:ok sounds good so far. now if you do the shackles then i would do the SYE and a CV drive shaft.


i have a 95 with a pro comp 4" and 33's and i have no vibs at all from it but if i would go any further with the lift i would also do the SYE and CV.


So by doing the 2" shackles to get 35's under then do the SYE and CV. but if doing 35's then RE-GEAR it now to 4:10s or 4:56s or 4:88s


as far as trac bars go ... if you plan on driving it on the road the install them, you wont have that much body roll and if going that much high i would sugest it.


dont forget about the brake lines!!!!!!!!!!


i hope this helps
Reply:Going higher will need to make caster modification.


Your stock axles will let you ride on 35" tires only in mid wheeling.


Check what is your gear ratio before buying tires. You might need to re-gear or buying smaller tires in order to mantain certain wheeling capabilities.


A definite yes on SYE and CV driveshaft.
Reply:Everyone here has given great advice, but I found out the hard way, that a lift like yours puts a lot of pressure on the axles! If you put 35's on it, expect to go through a few axles. You need to balance your Jeep out. Upgrade the axles before you break something. Either change the gear ratio or put in Dana 44 or Dana 60's (both expensive)


With oversized tires, don't plan on using 5th gear anymore, or if it's an automatic, it will probably be very sluggish.


The Jeep 4.0 is great for low torgue when offroading, but again, you have to keep the axles in mind. Don't push it to hard.


Best of luck
Reply:you wil need the sye and cv driveshaft or else you will have wicked bad vibes





a steering stabalizer is not needed if everything else works well, just make sure you get an alignment/do one, and you should be fine
