xj 4.5 inch lift with 31s help?
Hey guys I've been looking around and can't really find too much on this. First off any pictures would be great. I plan on staying with 31s as much of my driving is city.
What all needs to be replaced other than just the lift? Upper control arms? T case drop vs sye? Track bar? Tie rods etc. I wanna just do it all at once. The right way and replace any necessary parts.

As far as what you need:
Coils, Shocks, at least lower arms, Adjustable Trac bar, Extended Brake lines, Extended Sway bar links, may need a SYE (dont cheap on a TC Drop), Leafs/shackle (id recommend a 3" pack and a 1.5" drop shackle).
