I'm starting to gather everything I need to go from 3" to 4.5".
If I went on a baby seal clubbing excursion, my IRO LCAs would be my weapon of choice. Guaranteed one-hit kill.
And with IRO's high quality and low prices, you won't break the LCA or the bank!

Haha, that's awesome.
So,
IRO upper and lower adjustable control arms
IRO double shear adjustable trac bar
RE 4.5" coils
RE 3.5" leaf packs
1" shackles or shackle relocation brackets
SYE
Extended brake lines
Bilstien shocks.

How does that list sound? What else am I missing? Will the RE coils and leafs ride pretty rough?

That sounds fantastic. I'd do the same thing if I weren't so cheap.

I'm cheap too, but being a mechanic by trade, I really don't like using JY parts. I'm having to force myself to go get some 703's.

I'm getting some KM2 33x10.5's in a couple weeks, and a winch bumper from dirtbound off road. Then I'm going to start on buying lift parts. LCA's and trac bar are first on the list. Whoever installed the RC 3" on my Xj didn't install a trac bar and my axle is shifted about an inch to the drivers side.

Send a PM to Programbo about injectors. Lots of happy customers, and I just got mine in the mail yesterday. They're cleaned up, and they look new.

And make sure you get the double shear track bar.

In my experience and that of many others, Rusty is a jerk. And his leafs are good, but his other parts have a history of snapping.

Yeah, I think he charges $75. I can clean them just as good as he can and I have an extensive oring kit at work.

Double shear adjustable trac bar is on my list.

Lol, I read that in another thread. I saw probably a dozen neons at the JY this past Saturday and they all had the injectors in them.

Maybe I need to gather them all up and sell them to him.
