my buddy has a 99 sahara 4.0 hardtop. and he wants 33" tires. he doesn't plan to off road heavily. so he want a cheap efficient way to lift. he wants susp. not body. so i figured a 3'' susp. lift would do fine. then all he would need is coils (or spacers) and shocks. my question is would he need anything else? like pitman arm, end links, transfer case drop, track-bars, steering damper, control arms? and where can i pick up what he needs cheap? thanx in advance for your helps.
jerry.

the rubicon express 3.5" standard lift would be a good choice, its about $550 and includes springs, shocks, bump stop extentions, swaybar links, transfer case drop, and a rear trackbar bracket. Basically its all you need, but you will have to drill a new hole for the front trackbar or buy a whole new adjustable trackbar altogether.

if he doesn't really plan on wheeling it much, then have him get a 2"bb and a 1"bl and be done with it....stock ride and can clear 33's. its also the cheapest way to go.

and since he doesnt want a body lift, another option would be a 2" rustys spring lift with 3/4" spacers.

what exactly does he need? can he just get 2.5" or 3" springs and shocks and be done with it? or will he need something else?

If it never see's the dirt, never flexes, I would do a Budget Boost, and jam some 33x10.5's on the stock rim and be done. it will not rub under normal [emphasizing]NORMAL[/emphasizing] drinving. he won't have all the clearence between the wheels and fender, but as long as he does not exceed 10.5" tires on a stock rim (money saver) he will not rub on control arms or the fenders should he get some suspension movement.

i would say if he does anything over 2 inch suspension he would need all the other stuff. I def couldn't have gotten away without it but who knows.
