Default I have researched all I can...

What do you think about this lift with 36" iroks. I have seen a great deal of posts about 35" and 37" tires but cannot find what it would take to fit the
36's, so what do yall think? I know one is using this lift and a 1 inch body lift with 37's, so it should fit. I want to fit the iroks correctly but do not want to increase my center of gravity or angles anymore than needed. Some trimming would be fine though. Any input?

I have the BD 3 inch lift on my 4 door with 36 Iroks. I have upper and lower adjustable control arms added to mine. Rockrunner lowers and teraflex uppers. I do suggest you trim the front pinch seam in the rear fender wells if you do any sort of wheeling. heres a pick:

Pardon my ignorance but I have never had a jeep without leaf springs. What is the benefit or need of replacing the control arms?

in the middle of installing my black diamond 3" on my four door...

i will probably buy a rear adjustable track bar instead of using the relocation bracket. it apprears that using the relocation bracket causes enough stress to rip off the stock attachment tab in many cases.

i agree with the other post as well...if you really wheel you will want a set of quick disconnects as well.

Default Thank you all

I guess I can wait on the control arms for now. I have a Rubicon so will not need the disconnects but I will need the ss brake lines. I have heard some are relocating their brake lines. I am glad you said something, but I have heard many different things about the track bar. I am a little lost on that.
