Just checking to make sure I have this right.
This is the lift you're talking about and its contents?

It seems to me with 37's and that height, you would likely want replacement rear control arms to re-center your rear axle to avoid rub. Unless there's some brackets in that kit that I'm missing which extends the length of the rear control arms?
That seems like a lot of money for that lift where the only thing I'm seeing special are the coil-over shocks and a bunch of extension bracketry.

I'm going away for this week, but when I get back from Vaca I am going to call over to Northridge and Off-Road Evolution and see what others have run into with the kit as in other things they ended up needing to order. And then it's on! Keep an eye out for the build, not sure what forum to post that in yet, but I will figure it out.

You have a lot of stuff for "trail riding" Most is total overkill, almost as retarded as mine. If you really are going to be looking at axles later don't bother with the bead locks and driveshafts as they are not going to work with tons. Throw a limiting strap at the front differential to protect the factory driveshaft. You will still get the side to side full shock use but just not the entire axle going to full droop where the ds hits the exhaust.

I guess i say "trail riding" because i compare everything to MOAB. We have Uwharrie National Forest here and I hear some of it is pretty tough. I am looking forward to checking it out.
I used to work in a body shop many moons ago, and I guess I like to "go big" with the vehicles I have. I know i'ts overkill, but that's part of the fun right? haha I guess the goal is no matter where I take it, it will be able to handle it, even if it's just trail riding or crawling some rocks. I see many road trips to off road parks in the future.
I like the idea of the limiting straps. Everything here has been super helpful, things I haven't thought of before or have forgotten. Great stuff!!
