Also what else would I need? and where could I get it installed?
Its a good start You need new shocks for a 2.5 lift that's your preference what type. If going bigger tires steering stabilizer is a must. This is a pretty straight forward set up you can get this done pretty easily in your driveway in a couple of hours to a day and case of beer. Good luck! And for the looking stupid not really with a 2.5 but the itch will catch you pretty quick to upgrade.

Depends, Are you looking for a Rock Crawler or more of an Expedition style Jeep? If Expedition is what your looking to do, there are cheaper lifts. FOr a rock crawler I would suggest going with a more complete 8 arm system and avoid brackets.

What's up Long Islanders! The wife is from your area and we spend a lot of time on the Island, hell she still even works down there. Anyway, we're mainly down the south shore area east of Jones Beach, anywhere to go wheeling down there?
