I've decided on a 5" lift but...
#21
So...I'm getting my "list" together before I go ahead and order stuff. I want to get everything covered before I dive in. *Please add anything I'm missing or should need...even if it is just a suggestion...
BDS 5" lift kit
PA 2" body lift kit
15x10 fuel revolver wheels (black)
32"-33" BFG Mud Terrain KM2 tires
Speedometer calibrator
ZR2 fender flares
Anything else I need/should get?
Will I need to extend the drive shaft with this lift and 2" body lift?
Here r the rims i chose

Rear stabilizer links if you want to keep them. Bds sells extended ones or fab yours up
the driveshaft will have to be rebalanced...mine did..length was fine.
You will need rear axle shims..6 degree i think.
Optional..but while its torn down....ball joints..lower control arm bushings...torsion bar crossmember bushings...tie rods inner and outer...idler arm..pitman arm..steering stabilizer bds has one.
Diff fluid..will most likely spill some with the front diff out... outer front cv axle seals. Front bearings
and a bottle of anti-sieze..kit comes with loc tite. Torque wrench..torch...several jacks and stands.
Probably something i am missing.

I did all ball joints and tie rods...
how much (ballpark) do all the extras add up to?
Lets go this route.... What is absolutely necessary and what can wait til a down the road kind of thing...? Lol
