You don't need longer links. Those drop brackets the sway bar is connected to are adjustable. Slide them forward. I have the same kit. I'll post some pics.

Notice how the angled side of the bracket faces the front. I ran into the same problem when I installed mine.

Just thought you should give it a try before spending $$ you didn't have to.

Default 32x11.5... will I need to trim..4.5" lift
As the title says....I want to keep my stock flairs but also want to run 32`s..

Will I get away with it with the appropriate bump stopping or will I need to take em off and get out the angle grinder..

Thanks in advance

31x10.5 on stock rims? do the stock rims have enough back spacing for those tires, I have enough lift but will I just be hitting the control arms?

They will rub the control arms. My coopers did and that's not even an aggressive tread.

Looks like most of the important parts are OME. They are a good company.

My bad. I did not catch those drop brackets when I looked at the photos. I was just looking at the sway links.

Glad someone else caught that before you spent the $$$.

Default Brake Lines
Installing a 3.5" DPG lift with JKS LCA. Will I need new brake lines? I was looking at the Crown 5 layer from Quadratec.

I went with DPG Offroad. They offer OME kits and Dirk will spend hours with you before you buy. Make sure you know your end game like bumpers, winch and tire carrier. This will determine the spring rate. Check him out before you buy. You can’t go wrong with OME. This is my first XJ but I have had OME on about 4 Toyota. Shocks, springs are some of the best out there and you can’t beat the ride. Not a cheap kit but you get what you pay for.

Default Wheel Spacers
I have 31” x 10.5” MTRs on stock Ravine. Lift is 3.5” with JKS LCA. Any issues with this back spacing? Will I need wheel spacers?
