control arms, ext. brake lines in the front just to be safe, slip yolk eliminator, drop panhard in the rear and im guessing some more gizmo's in the front with your steering dampner setup ect then once thats all done you'll need bigger tires otherwise it will look ghey and then once you do that you need bigger flares, and then when you get the bigger tires you need diff gears so you may aswell go lockers, and then you realise how farkin shi.t jeeps are and how much they cost and you wanna sell it..


good answer?

At 3.5" extended brake lines are not necessary. Higher lift, yes in the front only. Rear adjustable upper control arms and SYE, possibly but every Jeep is different. I have not messed with my factory steering dampner set-up, shouldn't be a problem at this height.

Tyres and diff gearing is a separate issue. Tyres you would definitely need to look proportionate Diff ratios are also important, but for the time being you can live with what you have as long as you don't go 35" tyres (thats a whole different can of worms).

bu in all honesty if you plan to go bigger later and have enough money to do it.. then get them while they're cheap as there is no point just changing your setup in 12 months time because its not high enough thus making your e-penis small....

just keep in mind you get what you pay for.

I just did the whole lot that nicholash was suggesting and your looking at bout $3000-$4000 in part after buy the shocks and springs. However i did a few extras so allow for possible increase later. Also dont rush into it, do it do it once.
