Edit: If the extra $100 isn't an issue, and a full SYE is just a little intimidating.... It's not as difficult as it seems. I had never torn into a TC before, and I was able to make it happen with the TC still under the jeep laying in my driveway. Good lock ring pliers are the key.

I am having trouble filtering through all the info here. I Have a 1991 XJ and I am putting a 4.5" RC full suspension lift kit on it. Most likely going with 33's for tires but not set on that. Any suggestions? I am still trying to find out what additional parts I will need to get.
I know I am going to need extended bump stops, but what else? Steering stabilizer? I am still not sure...
I am sorry I am asking something I am sure tons of people have asked before, but I can't seem to find the answers I am looking for on my own.
Thank you in advance to all of those that give me suggestions, I'm sure many of you have much more knowledge than I do.

Also, 33's are gonna be fairly crappy on stock gearing. Do a bunch of research, and read a bunch of threads before making a purchase. Like I said, if you can stay away from RC, do it. Piecing a kit together is a nice option

Over 3" you really should have extra shackle so that the springs can compress further. Zone 3" spring with 1.5" lift shackles should do it, or RE 3.5" springs and mess around with shackles.
As for the axle U bolts, these are torque-to-yield fasteners and stretch when tightened. Head bolts in an engine are the same and can typically be reused once.
and i have the shackles from my rough country 4.5" kit, which I believe are adjustable. would those fit either the zone or RE leaf springs? I don't see why not, just wanna make sure I won't have a surprise when doing the installation.
and as far as quality, are the zone ones better than RC? they're a bit cheaper than RE so I might go with them. they don't have higher than 3" right? so my RC shackles + 3" zone springs should net me around 4-5"?

Should be able to, the determining factor is length of driveshaft.
Can look at the shift bezel in cabin and confirm by looking at tag on rear of transfer case. Pictures attached.
