I have new 31x10.50R15 on 15x7 zj Canyon wheels. I have a 3in Skyjacker lift, with replacement Skyjacker LCA up front, some weird drop bracket for my trac bar, and blocks in rear. First of all I can't believe they sell this kit, i don't understand why you get new LCA but not rear springs? Or why the trace bar has a drop bracket? Seems strange to me but....
My question is my rear axle is out of alignment, I just did a 4wheel alignment today and tomorrow they are going to drop it and see if they can realign the axle, it may be the pins are not aligned in the rear springs, i figured they are dropping the rear axle and springs so maybe i should just add new leaves.
Q:what length or lift height should i replace the rear springs with?
My long term plan is long arm, and full width, as well as 35, 36 or 37s
I was thinking 5.5, that way if I go to a 6.5in long arm i can simply add shackles, or worse case a new bastard pack or blocks.also if I go to a 5.5 in the rear should I do SYE? Brakes?

Im getting a 4.5" lift soon and I had to wonder if I could fit 32" tires without trimming the fenders? Thanks!

I have the 31x10.5 Duratracs on mine. I have a 2" BB lift (coil spacers, shackles). I get no rubbing on the road anywhere. However, I have no sag in my front or rear springs and I did install Grand Cherokee lower control arms to eliminate the need for steering backstop adjustment. I'm not sure I would want to disconnect the front sway bar and do any major articulation maneuvers with this set up as clearances appear rather tight.

What will i need for 4.5" lift
im going to buy a jeep xj Cherokee soon and i want to put a 4.5" lift on it. i was looking at the Jeep XJ Cherokee 4.5" Suspension from Rough country
http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4.html I was wondering if i have to put on a new axle and transfer case before i can take it off road or can i wait a while? and what other parts am i going to HAVE to install? and What parts would you recommend i install later? (im new to this). im trying to do this as cheaply as possible but still have fairly good parts that arent going to crack or break and make the jeep un-drivable. im not going to be doing any rock crawling mostly just mudding. thanks.
