Title: 2" lift kit...that's it??
Post by: TheCaptain on September 15, 2008, 02:48:47 PM

Would anything else be needed besides what you get with the springs and shocks?  Do I need a new driveshaft, lines etc....
Just planning to put in a 1" BL and this kit... if that's all I would need.  (Springs and shocks)
Something I can do some weekend soon.

New to the lift game  ::)

You should be ok with the 2" spring lift and the 1" body lift. How big of tires are you going? if you are going 33 or smaller I would hold off on the body lift for now. Untill you see if yoou need it.  I haad 33x 13.5 swamper's on my tj for a while, they didn't rub but I had other issues,
There is always a chance of getting some driveshaft vibration at 3" of lift, some people do, most don't.  Usually vibrations come with 4" or more lift then you have to look at getting a slip yoke eliminator and new rear driveshaft.
