I was looking at these ones... haven't done much research on them yet, but seems that NorthRidge only sells good stuff, unlike some of the comp out there.

New lines all around, or run down to the hardware store and make your own brackets for under $10. Plenty of people are running the brackets, so not really an issue of half-assing it, just depends on lift height and needs.

And another vote for the JKS discos, they work great. TeraFlex discos would be my second choice, really like the idea of the mounting system.

I was looking at something along these lines. For a 3" lift I would need the 10.5"? A lot of crap goes into a lift... especially when it turns out almost 1.5 highter than advertised (although all the posts said to expect it).

Why not just get the northridge links that are $69 vs the $94
You should need some that are 3"-3.5" longer then the factory ones.
Just tell dave what you are looking for an he will set you straight.
Good call. Guess I will call him in the morning and get squared away. Thanks for the input

How do you like the 2inch OME lift? Think it will clear my 315/70/17s? They measure 34 and 1/4 inches

The lift should clear those tires might need some spacers though.

It's a great lift and rides really nice. You will have no problem with clearance as it gives you over 3" front and rear (at least with the heavy). Don't forget your away bar connects and fuel line extenders. If tire is over 10.5 wide you will need spaces for sure, I just ordered mine as I have under a 1/2 inch clearance on the sidewall. It doesn't rub, but under flex I have a feeling it will be.

Are the earlier pictures you posted from the side a picture with the suspension installed? Is the rear lower than the front? Which coils did you go with?

I have jks and there very strong and very easy to use, as for the grease I add a little every oil change and I don't even think any other brands have grease zerks on them, jks makes tuff shit I recommend them, as for the brake lines I just did a 3" lift and got 3.5" all around and I just bent the front lines a little bit and put 3" drop brackets in the rear and there's lots of room for flex, hope this helps
