    Thinking about ordering a lift if prices are decent for Black Friday.
    Thinking about Eibach pro 2.0 coil overs, Eibach extended rear shocks and Deaver expedition 402 springs. Would like lower maintenance UCAs (if needed) and will probably order ECGC bushing. Do I need extended brake lines or bump stops? I have sumo springs in the back currently and was intending to use those as bump stops. Hammer hangers and/or u-bolt flip? From what I’ve dif drop kits aren’t necessary but wondering about any other possible needs. I’d like to know everything I’d need or should have before diving in.

    The u-bolt flip is pretty cheap (without the bumps) and super easy since you're already in there and looks pretty slick as well.
    I personally haven't done front bumps yet.
    Someone else can verify, but you shouldn't need extended brake lines.
    A 1/4" spacer for driver side front for taco lean is good, too.
    You'll almost certainly need axle shims (probably 2.5-3 degrees?) and maybe a carrier bearing drop kit as well.

    I bought the ECGS bearing but haven't installed it yet. Mostly because it was stupid cold when I did the lift install and didn't want to be outside any longer than I had to. I haven't had any vibes yet. If you're having a shop do it, it's probably best to have them do it now since it'll cost more to have it done later.

    yeah that’s what I was wondering about axel shims and that stuff. Thought about the spacer but these are adjustable coil overs so I’ll just crank the drivers side down a little to accommodate for lean. I might have a shop do it if I order the stuff. No room in my garage due to other toys / stuff and it’s getting too cold to work on it in the driveway. I’ve heard most don’t need extended brake lines but noticed a lot of wheelers kits come with them.

    The Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 kit is a coil over style that is adjustable on the vehicle. No need for a shim to compensate for Taco lean. If you want low maintenance UCA's, from my research Specialty Products Company makes a style with factory style ball joint that has improved range of motion.

    Shims for back, rule of thumb. 1 degree per inch of lift.

    I ruined my front 33” wranglers because I skipped this step. At least check camber a few times after you jack the front up to make sure you’re at 0

    Correct I’ll level the front with adjustment on the coil overs. Someone posted a thread I think they needed about 2.5 extra turns on the drivers side. I was looking at SPCs and all pro, but have heard Dirt king were also good. I’d rather do it all at the same time. I’m still not 100% sure I’m going to do it was planning to wait until factory suspension starts to get tired, but the upcoming sales have me wanting to move sooner. With my cap and constant load in the bed I’m constantly riding on my sumo springs in the back.

    Perfect that was what I was wondering. Hoping to not have any vibes.

    Definitely will get an alignment. I had the same shop do my previous wrangler and 4Runner when I lifted those and they did everything well. I’ll probably leave the old tires on until it’s aligned.

    Have you considered Timbren bump stops to assist with the suspension?

    I already have sumo springs 612-40s in the back. Added those after the cap. They will be the new rear bump stops. They shouldn’t affect articulation much as they are 500 lbs at 50% compression so 250lbs on one side would allow them to smash pretty easily over rocks, ditches etc.
