About to order a lift; anything I am leaving out that I should consider purchasing?
I am finally going to order my lift! This is what I am considering ordering; is there anything else that I should also consider getting? Of course, other than spending the extra coin for the Clayton 4.5" and 37’s....
My current setup is stock, with the only addition being a SRC Winch Bumper, and EPi 9.0. A rear bumper/tire carrier is in the distant future...
I will probably never run anything over a 35's, and more than likely will just run 33's when the stock 32’s are done.
I think after much consideration the OME HD will be sufficient for my long term goals; although the Clayton 3.5” and 4.5” lifts seem like really nice kits for the money, it might be overkill for my needs.
So with all things considered, I feel the OME with a couple of additions fits the bill nicely, so this is what I am considering purchasing.
1. OME HD.
2. Currie front and rear adjustable track bars.
3. Currie front and rear adjustable sway bar links.
I want to go with the Currie track bars because I like the Johnny Joints… They might be pricier than some others on the market; but having a little extra flex, and being able to grease the joint appeals to me. Am I off base with my thinking here? The Johnny Joints is also what I like about the Clayton kits!
I am also going to purchase Riddler front and rear diff covers while I am at it. All told, this puts the upgrades in the $1,400.00 dollar range.
I am also considering a better steering stabilizer, but keeping my mod budget in mind, I might wait until I make a final decision on tire size before pulling the trigger on this…I’m not sure I will need one just running 32’s or 33’s?
Thanks in advance for you opinions and advice! So, what say you?

Sounds like you've got it pretty much figured. You might want to think of some extended brake lines, but other than that it looks like a great start.
A far as the stabilizer goes, definitely keep Woods re-locater in mind when you do. I have the Skyjacker and hate it. It bangs into everything down there. I'd go with a skinnier one like the Fox even though it's a bit more.
