4.5 in RC full leafs
i wanna put a 4.5 RC with full leaf packs, steering stabilizer, and nitro 9000 shocks on 2000 sport. What modifications (sye, control arm drop kit, etc) do i need so my jeep will ride without causing extra wear to my drivetrain? I dont really care about ride comfort otherwise i woulda bought a beamer but i dont want any extra vibes and i will be running 31's

Huh. I have RC's 4.5" full leaf packs and ran them with stock shackles for a couple years and never had the issue you have. I would contact a Rough Country rep(Grimus is a good one, look in the vendor section) and he should be able to answer this.
Are your drag link and track bar not parallel? If they are nearly parallel a drop pitman arm is not needed.

upgrading lift need opinions
i have a 4.5" bds on 33's now and want to fit 35's. My fenders are cut already but idk if they will rub much i havent been able to find anyone around my area with 35's on jeep or small bolt ford rims to try. I also was wondering what people thought about doing a 3/4" coil spacer and a 1" or 2" block with just a transfer case drop or whether i need to do the sye? just on a budget and trying to save a little money
