No need for control arms right now. In the future front lowers you'll want to add caster. No need for bump stops for 33 inch tires and if you go 35s in the future flat fender it and no stops are needed.

What I will highly recommend is new rear sway bar links and frt sway bar disconnects. If brake line extension brackets are still not included, make them or get a set.

I run this lift and have for a year and it is an awesome kit. Especially having the frt and rear track bars. I have had no sagging and flexes great. It will ride stiffer due to the shocks. I have since added other things and such due to changes in my build but you will be glad you bought it.

I agree with the lowers, if I put 35's and have a bigger lift then 3inch I would probably get them. But do agree wth the brake lines, just wish jeeping was as chep as it was years ago, I remember pay 590 for pro comp xterrains' lol.

AMEN!

I think that was a start up thing for them. Get everyone to start buying their tires then jack the prices way up.

Sorry for the hi-jack.
