6 inch lift....

wesbailey · Jul 2, 2005

ok so i have a 4.5 inch lift kit.. its coils and AAL and blocks..

my rear springs are looking bad.. Folding wise. im getting a leaf package in about a month or so..but my question is.
can i throw new shackles and coil spacers without my SYE and brake lines ?
i just dont know. i dont want to get real into it and have it sitting higher and then findout i need new brake lines hah well its a 1994 country edition if that helps anyone. but i would really like some input from some people who have done 6 inch's without brakelines.. which i dont know if i can do..

Thanks Guys.

you'd probably need an SYE, and at least relocate your front and rear lines

you will need longer brake lines and an SYE

dont think you will be lucky and not need either

i couldnt even get my axle in with the stock brakeline at 6" much less have any droop....

i switched to YJ lines and remounted the hard lines...

also your e-brake cables will be too short

SYE is necessary - budget $525 for an AA unit and a new TW shaft...
just do it - i will not help you fix your blown up u-joint on the trail because your t-case output yoke couldnt handle the angle and you blew it up - i will throw my spare u-joint at you and create a bypas around you...
