700 bucks for 1 ton steering. Brake lines. Shackles. Spacers. Leafs. And sye. Seems pretty cheap to me

Ya 700 is worth it ....... I'd deff upgrade the steering (I have the rc 4.5 with aal and 33s) this is what happens fast
I am deff gonna buy a sye in the next few months.
Breaklines is a must Mine are about to break at full flex
Id like new leafs (longer ones) so my shackle angle isn't bad. Plus it rides rough now
But I mean your then gonna be at a 6" lift correct? Cause of spacer and new leafs and shackles? If so I'd recommend getting long arms.

what's the 1 ton steering for? unless you're pushing 35's the zj tie rod will be perfect
and why go taller? 3.5" leaf packs and a 5" shackle will be awesome. then you're sitting at 4.5" the proper way. I just installed RE 4.5" on 33's and I already want to lower it. haven't even driven it yet. lift height is over rated

also the SYE is not needed either. sounds like you're just shooting in the dark buying random parts. what's the goal here?
meaty tires and axle upgrades should be first on the list

Height isn't over rated it just depends where you wheel at. There are a lot of trails in Colorado that we need a taller jeep to make it over the rocks.
