Going from a 3.5" RE Superride, and adding coil spacers (probably 1 3/4"). This is what I figure I'll need:

LCA's (i have adjustable ones so thats covered)
New UCA's
New brake lines
New trac bars

Sway bar links I've taken care of.

Think I'll need new shocks? Using DT3000s right now.

Anything else I'm missing?

TIA
Scotty

measure your shocks but yea, i'd get new ones. Don't want them being limiting straps...

what's your steering like? I've got the currie system so I'm not sure what the stock joints would do at that angle...

My steering is fine right now, occasionally the trac bar gets loose but thats just because of something I did. No real problems as of yet.

I'm running 4.5" of lift with stock brake lines. Just loosen the bracket if you haven't already.

Yeah, I'd be at 5.5", it's not a very expensive upgrade and I'd rather be safe with something like BRAKES

its usually a good idea to set aside some money for a professional alignment.

I take it you are still going to have short control arms. Let me know how your rig handles, I'm thinking of doing the same to my rig.
