    Hey Guys,
    I've been doing a lot of research on lift kits, tires, etc. and I'm still pretty confused. I was thinking about doing something along the lines of a 5100 lift with Eibach coils and an aal.
    Here:

    If I get this, what else will I need? Also what size tires would I be able to put on? I know these questions have been asked before but it's so hard to find threads with this info all related to the same lift.

    maybe a carrier bearing drop and extended brake lines. A lot of folks will say you don't "need" the brake lines but I got them and I may have not needed them either but I'm glad I got them. Carrier bearing drop is cheap and I would get it just in case you get drive line vibrations and that helps correct the angle of the drive shaft after lift. IF you don't get it upfront and do have vibrations then you have ride around like that until you get the that drop. but thats just my two cents.

    You can always opt for UCA's too which again is needed only on a case by case basis to obtain good alignment. Those suckers can be a lot though and may be worth waiting to see if you need it so up to you!
