Do research on how to repair broken nutserts, and stock up on the supplies you need for that, just in case.

Its common for the mounting nuts for the transmission crossmember, and the rear spring and shackle bolts to break the weld nuts loose.

Spray everything daily with PB blaster for a week or so before you do the lift.

 

Thanks, I'll start spraying tomarrow.

 

iirc that kit is add a leaves and coils

shocks - must have
swaybar disconnects(I like the jks brand)
Possibly relocate the brake lines

edit: adjustable trackbar is a plus, but not needed

 

I have a set of new extended brake lines for $75 if relocating is not enough. Believe they are Rusty's.

 

I broke 3 out 4 shock bolts. Take your time:thumb:

 

i currently have the rough country lift. it came with coils, add-a-leafs and 4 shocks.

i would additionally recommend a adjustable trackbar, extended fixed or adjustable lower control arms (you can always find those used cheap), extended brake lines if you like wheeling with your front swaybar off.
you may or may not need a t-case drop or slip yoke eliminator. i have some slight deceleration vibs. i would recommend saving up for a slip yoke eliminator.

 

you need tools. you can't do a lift with out good tools and lots of them. lol. and if it is rear add-a-leafs, c-clamps rock:thumb:
