what else do i need?
You don't need a steering stabilizer unless something is wrong with yours.

Add to list....
  • Trackbar and drop bracket
  • drop pitman arm
  • drop bracket for control arms (since you aren't getting long arms)
  • possibly degree shims for the rear. If you are using shackles you may not need them.
  • links or discos for front sway bar.

Yes you'll need upper and lower drop brackets.
Drop pitman arm:

A drop pitman arm may not be needed if you install the correct steering and track bar system.

To liftthat hight you need
Coils
Leafs
Shackles
Shocks
Sye
Driveshaft
Brakelines
New upper and lower control arms with drop brackets or long arms are wayyy betterrrrr
Adjustable trac bar
Quick discos for sway bar
Drop pitman arm

Some 35s
Lifting 8 inches is not something that can be done cheap.. id def go long arms.. I'm goin to 6 inxhes and gettin em... do it right the first time and spend 600 700 extra or spend the 300 on control arms and then 700 later for long arms and 300 for fixes that short arms caused haha but ya
