You mean keep the stock rear axle and regear?

Well I have an 8.25 is that the same???

Well how long of shackles are you considering? Does the rc kit come with lower control arms, or a new track bar? You will need new brake lines or atleast brake line relocation brackets. I'm not sure about shocks but if you went up another 2", then you might need to consider new shocks.

Maybe even a new drop Pitman arm, and sway bar links. Might need a sye or a transfer case drop.

So I have a set of JK shocks that I'm putting on my ZJ. I have already ordered a set of IRO bar pin eliminating brackets for the front. But for the rear JK shocks have the same flat style on them. Do I just have to use the BPE offered from IRO(only thing is it doesn't say it's for ZJ rear) or is there a way to remove the flat part an just have the eyelid, cause that would bolt directly up. The picture is of the part I need to get out....

It will stick out on the driver side more. It will cause suspension components to wear early. It makes your steering a little sloppy, bump steer?... I road with a 4 inch lift with a stock track bar for a while.

And if I understand you right... you have a 5.5" lift with 2.5" spacers so your front is sitting at 8"? If so you should definitely get a longer track bar and an upgraded mount for it.

If I can see right then you can just pull the bar pin out and use a bolt.

Discounttiredirect.com got me a great deal and my tires were delivered in 2 days. They also gave me an awesome warranty.

I was reading this going "how do you pull it out of a hole that small...?"
Lol but I think I get it. Pull the bar pin and bushing out and replace just the bushings...?
