You shouldn't need a thing other than tires. If you want to be picky, your stock LCAs are pretty much at the max lift hieght at 4". On my 3" Rought Country AAL I am running a set of JKS LCAs and they are awesome. I know most people will tell you Rough Country is crap, but I never had a single problem with mine.

soo i wont need an adjustable trackbar or anything like that?

You will need longer front and rear brake hoses. The stock hoses are very marginal at 3" of lift. Any higher and you're asking for a ripped hose. Yours are probably due for replacement anyway, so just get 95 Wrangler hoses and call it good.

nope you will need to move it about 5/8" to the drives side though by drilling the bracket on teh axle, to keep the axle centered under the rig

He will need an adjustable track bar, drilling a new hole is marginal with a 3" lift and he is talking about adding a coil spacer to that so he will end up around 4"

should i expect any driveline vibes, i plan on installing a transfer case drop, but are their any other precutions i should take? I do a good amount of off roading, nothing too extreme. Is it a good idea to get some LCA, and if soo where's chep place to buy em', being 16 i dont have alot of money and all.

Thanks
