They have one that is 1-5" lift and one for 3.5" to 7''. They recommended me to get the 3.5 to 7" version in case I decide to go bigger later on!

I've been looking at this for a while if you have the 6 and 35 you'll rub pretty bad offroad if your just making a bad**s mall crawler then yea but any speed bump you hits gona kill you

Adj control arm would help keep everthing aligned right, but you could get away without em

Ummm, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the rear of a WJ have an upper wishbone setup? Meaning no rear track bar...

I've been through this man. A 4 inch long arm kit with non adjustable control arms is made to give you the right pinion angles. Keeping that bb is going to give u the wrong pinion angles and more than likely will cause driveshaft vibs. I learned the hard way and ended up spending enough money to get the right kit. Cheers.
