Default Building a lift kit, help!
My birthday just passed around and my parents got me the Smittybilt Stinger

Now, since they know I'll be asking for more jeep parts for Christmas, I figure to make a list now and warn them haha.

I plan to ask for the Teraflex 2.5" lift kit. Question: what else do I need in this kit besides shocks?

About the shocks, which is the best shocks for the buck?

Thanks in advance!

Awesome! Just ordered my XRC stinger w/ XRC8 winch

Look into the OME HD lift. Great quality, and about 3" off lift

Consider some form of caster correction.

Read this one in the Suspension FAQ's:
"Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?"
