You are going to need to add a lot more to that list and I would ditch the dual stabilizers and run full hydraulic steering.
That is truly a poor kit. Enjoy the bind and extra stress on the control arm mounts. This kit totally ignores the steering geometry that will be terrible at 6" of lift.
If it works for you great.
Merry Christmas.

Why do you want to go with a 6" lift for the 37"s?

I would imagine it was due to the holes in the frame they are bolting the lower control arm mounts too so you don't have to drill the frame. It is made out of some kind of super alloy that burns up drill bits.

It's strictly a street machine, and never had a 6 inch lift yet on any of my jeeps so wanna see what happens. I know because it's a mall crawler it'll need a lot less

The price difference from 40s and 37s is stupid
