So since i got my new job as a tech at a dealership i have quite a bit more money so i FINALLY got the bumpers lined. I just used dupli color truck bed liner. It looks 10 times better. I ll get pics up asap.
 
Look good! Great tire choice, I really like the Cooper S/T's. I ran two sets on my ZJ before moving to STT's.

...anything over 3.5" needs at least a t-case drop...
Not true

...and at least 4 adjustable control arms.
Again, not true

Not a bad idea

Please don't give out bad information.

The adjustables are a must though. You should get all four lowers and upper rears too.
Not a must
I ran the Skyjacker 3" kit with a 2" BB on the stock uppers for years .
I did get adjustable track bars though. That helped keep everything centered up.

I know theres someone on here who ran 3" springs with 2" coil spacers who ran just lower skyjacker arms and said it rode awesome. Cant remember who it was.
anyone know who this is? id like to talk to them
I ran this setup for years. I wouldn't say it rode awesome. It rode stiff but very tolerable. I'm running a hybrid 6.5" lift now but have much better shocks. At this height my ZJ actually rides better than with the Skyjacker stuff.

I think anything over 3.5" of lift you should get a SYE.
Not True

I'm at 6.5" without one and I know a few others at this height without a SYE.

I hear that a lot on this forum. Maybe you guys just like saying it...? ;)
I'm pretty sure Maxx loves to say SYE
 
I'm at 5.75 inchs of lift with the stock driveshafts and no t-case drop. No vibes. Every ZJ is different though.

I ment to update this while ago but I did a 2in bb on top of the skyjacker springs. Then i got 33in TrXuS MTs and when i was doing the lift my trackbar relocation bracket had a crack about 1/2 way through it! So I got a JKS trac bar.


Tomorrow im painting the streetlocks red on the outside and black on the inside. Like CrawlerReadys beadlocks. Because the paint on the rims is flaking from hitting them on rocks.

Pics tomorrow.
