So I am in the middle of installing my lift. JK shocks don't have the same eye opening for the top of the rear shock, but I should be able to make it work. Big problem I am running in to is I can't drop the axle far enough to get the spring and the 3" spacer in. I'm thinking I might need to undo the track bar?

Hey guys, I am a Jeep noob . I have a 1990 cherokee sport 5-speed. I want to put a 4.5(ish) lift on her, but am looking at spending ~$500 on the kit + additional for supporting pieces. I am reading that I will need quick disconnects for the front sway, TC drop and a SYE. I will be puting 33's on her as well.
car will see trail use and some long camping trip use. Needs to be (semi) reliable as well. what kit should I go with? Im thinking RC 4.5 unless the extra money for the RE 3.5 is better? Anything else I need to look into?
thanks!

@okcjeeper. I asked about shims or a 1 inch t case drop for my 3.5 inch lift kit and bilsteins. I just read what you said about your 3.5 RE kit actually sitting at about 4.5. My kit is an RE kit too so having it sitting at 4.5 would a 1 inch t case drop still be ok?
