JUst want to check that I'm not missing anything b4 I hand my jeep over to the install shop monday. (I know, I should do it myself, but It's a 115 degrees here)

So I have an existing 3" bastard budget lift, and I'm keeping the following to work with the new stuff to make a 4.5":

Bumpstops extensions
Extended brakelines
JKS disconects
1.5" lift shakles (http://www.rocky-road.com/xjshackle.html)

New components to be installed:

Adjustable track bar (rough country)
Fixed lower control arm (http://rustysoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=AUA-2)
Adjustable upper control arm (http://rustysoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ALA-2)
4.5" coils (http://rustysoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ROR405)
3" Leafs (http://rustysoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=XJ-2)
Rusty's front and rear shocks for a 4.5" lift
New Rusty's steering stabalizer

The only thing I can think of is that the shop will have to look at the rear pinion angle after the install and see what degree shims it needs. I don't currently have a SYE, and don't plan to do it right now. I expect the driveline angles can be set to be free of vibes for now, however I do know that I may need a SYE and slip shaft before going offroad depending on how much travel I get after the lift. I plan to in the near future.

Anthing else I am forgetting for parts? or anything I'm not taking into account that may cause the shop to call me with questions?

Thanks for the help.
 
No T-case drop or SYE and 4.5 inches on a 96+, oh yes, there will be vibes, you can count on that. If you arent gonna get an SYE just yet, do your t-case a little bit of justice and at least get a t-case drop. Not a fix, but its a band-aid.
 
Get ah hd tracbar and mount from RE or TNTCustoms. I also like RE arms more than Rustys.

You will need an SYE and driveshaft no doubt.
 
We'll just have to see how bad the vibes are, maybe I have to do the SYE this week instead of in a month or so.

I thought of one other thing, new axle-side upper control arm bushings. I'll have to hit NAPA in the AM and have them put them in while they are doing the install.
