Ok so NJHC4Xlife for some reason can't post right now so he asked me to do this for him. \
He ordered a rusty's 2" spring lift along with 3/4" spacers. He also got a Transfer case drop. He wants to know if he needs anything else for this all to work. The kit came with shocks. Does he need a Trackbar relocation bracket, drop pitman arm or anything else?

I'm guessing he will need a Trac-bar bracket or an Adjustable trac-bar. The kit doesn't come with a bracket?
From what I've seen, even the 2" budget boost spacer shifts the trac-bars to one side.
Oh, and maybe some brake line extenders or all new braided stainless steel flex. lines.

Yeah the kit only comes with 2" springs and shocks. He wants to get some more lift out of it so he got the spacers. Then because of that he also purchased the transfer drop. I figured he really doesn't need the pitman arm but wasn't sure about brakelines or track bar.

Ok what if you he doesn't get a trackbar braket. Will he be able to drive it? what exactly will it limit without the bracket?

The axles are going to be pulled to the sides, and his tires could rub on the frame or bar-end. This info is only from what I've gathered at www.Jeepforum.comI would get brackets, and or adjustable trac-bars. |

i would say you dont need the track bar brackets. i've seen plenty of BB's in tjs and other jeeps, and never heard of anyone needing a track bar relocation.
2" bb's usually consist of spacers (aal or shackles depending on vehicle), shocks, and extended bump stops. and i see plenty of people run them on stock shocks for a short period of time as well. dont spend the money right now. just put the BB in as is, and he should be fine. my roommate's old TJ had a BB in there, and he only did shocks with the spacers, ran just fine.

BC,
You didn't read the thread. ;D
He bought 2" lift springs, plus he is using a .75" spacer on top of that. So, he is gaining almost 3".

instead of installing the 3/4" spacers, i would have gone with a 1" body lift and maybe a 1" motor mount lift instead. That way you et 3" of lift without having to worry so much about track bars, vibes, ect.

well if it was me I would have went with a 4+ in lift so that in a year when I realized I should have went bigger I didn't waste any time or money on it.

he's a cry baby and won't do it. He actually tried to convince me to get AT. I think he thought I would get them. Once you go mud you can't go back.

I missed the note about getting the activation code and not using a aol e-mail...i guess i'm that dumb. on another not...if you ever call me a crybaby again mike i will hurt you and to dan, just because you have 35's doesn't make you cool...you are still a loser. As for the lift that is being discussed I think i am going to take the advice and get the OME trac bar relocation kit but it is only for the rear. Do I need a front one too....i guess what i want to know is exactly what i need to buy without getting a whole new adj. trac bar because i am poor. Thanks......Vince
