First Jeep - 2013 JKU Sahara
Hey guys, been reading for months and months, and found that you all manage to answer just about everything I have to ask about!! Right now I am running everything bone stock, with the exception of 35" trail grapplers on Rockstar wheels, with cut fenders to make em fit. Lots and lots of things to come, but summer is my expensive season so the lift will be worked out over the winter time. My plan is to piece something together, as every different brand has their strengths/weaknesses in an out of the box lift.
Wanted to go all rock crawler, but I dont want to use their bent front track bar, as I want some sort of sector shaft re-inforcement. Here is my list of parts So far, Love it if anyone could tell me if anything wont work out.
First off, I am going to get the Artec front armor kit, and reinforce my d30. Thats truss, inner C's, and I am going to get it with the raised track bar bracket, and hold off on doing that until I do my lift.
Artec front armor
RK 2.5" Springs - been dying to try out their new triple rates
RK front and rear sway bar links
Carolina Metal Masters Drag link, tie rod,and rem/clevis mount - Their suggested bracket for the flipped drag link is the Artec one, and their products seem to be very quality. 1 ton rod ends all around is a huge plus. Anyone have any info on the flipped drag link at this height? Ive heard its not necessary, and may even cause issues. I plan on doing hydro assist in the near future as well.
JKS Track bar and Sector Shaft reinforcement - Seems to be one of the best going, I was thinking about doing either this or just going with the Poly stuff - track bar, mount, and sector shaft brace... JKS just seems to be the better reinforcement option, and ive only heard good things on their track bars. Probably do their rear track bar mount as well, run the stock one unless/until it causes issues.
So this is where I am going to start, any feedback would be much appreciated!! Let me know if im missing anything, or what isnt compatible.

Sorry I don't have any answers for you, but I have a 2014 Sahara Altitude that I just got last week and have a question for you. Can you post a pic of your Jeep? I am curious to see how the setup looks with just cutting the wheel well for such a large tire.
