Hi Ya'll,

I recently bought an 03 TJ Saharah and now I want to lift it for 33x12.50's. I've been shoppin around and am finding out that I may need more than what comes in a standard lift kit. I want to do a 4" suspension lift, might as well do it right. So I have an idea, but I'm not sure of all the details. Basically it's this. I'm looking at a skyjacker, pro comp, or a rough country lift kit, but I'm not sure what else I may need. I have pretty much figured I need a rear cv style driveshaft, but what about other items? I'm hearing about adjustable front camber/caster, transfer case drop brackets and other things, too. Does anyone have a list of exactly what I need to do a 4
" lift? Any help or suggestions are, as always, greatly appreciated.



Thanks,
Mike

Most kits, other than budget specials have the transfer case drop brackets and other things needed.  The cv driveshaft and slip yoke elimanator makes it to where you shouldn't need to drop your transfercase.

On a seperate note mudb8 runs a 2.5 inch rancho rockcrawler kit with basically 35's all he did if I remember correctly was adjust the bumpstops to keep tires out of the fenders.  Rancho also offers the 3.5 which if my memory serves me correctly is the same price as the 2.5 inch and is suppose to fit 33's or 35's.  

You can try looking at gorancho.com or try to pm mudb8 about his setup.
