Question Rear leaf spring lift and front lift
I'm planning on replacing the rear leaf springs with a 4" lift and raising the front 2"-3". My question is will that affect any other components like shocks or steering parts ?

You might need a pitman arm drop, and possibly longer shocks. Most lifts that height come with a transfer case drop if its a kit. Im not sure if you would need one, So dont quote me on it

The more i think about it having a 4" lift you will absolutely need longer shocks and the trasfer case drop might not be needed but its very possible it could be so the drive shaft angles dont get too extreme

Is there a kit out there to change ALL components affected by the lift ?
