Default 3.5 inch lift what's needed ?

So what all do I need to do for 3.5 inch lift I mean other than the obvious I currently am doing a adjustable track bar, adjustable control arms with drop brackets,... like do I need to do a transfer case drop and anything need done with the steering components like longer tie rods etc? Wanna try to avoid death wobble after lift its gonna be a DAILY DRIVER.

I do believe this question is in the wrong thread but I could be wrong. Yes for a 1 inch transfer case drop is recommended. The image is from someone else on the modified XJ's threads. If I'm incorrect on anything others will correct me...all this is from my understanding because my 3 inch lift from Zone Off roading is arriving tomorrow. Oh and also longer brake lines.

Almost all 47 of your posts are about the same thing and have been answered multiple times by me and others. Apparently you didn't like the answers you got.

You don't need control arm drop brackets with a 3.5" lift. Spend that money on an SYE instead, a hack n tap SYE with a front driveshaft in the rear is all you need.

No, you could not be wrong. Question about lifting belong in the Modified section.
