Does my parts list look ok? Suggestions?

[Travis]

Been doing a bit of reading and came up with this parts list for my lift. I'm trying to keep the lift at about 3 inches, I'll only be doing light offroading and cruising around on logging roads. My jeep was manufactured Feb. 2002 which means it came from the factory with taller springs I believe. Not sure if that should influence how I choose to lift it or not.

Here's the list:

Ironman front and rear springs
Ironman front shocks
Bilstein heavy duty rear shocks
Teraflex bump stops
JBA 1/4 inch spacer plates
1 extra rear upper isolator each side

I'm open to suggestions!

I'd recommend upgraded UCA's as well. Might as well toss in a .5" clevis spacer too. You basically got the Tommudd's Econo lift.

I would do the Ironman rear shocks as well, better fit and even longer than the OME or Bilstein
Also there isn't any rear bumpstops listed
It will have some rake to the front with that setup when settled more than likely

Being an 02 or an 07 doesn't mean anything when doing a full spring lift

Yeah forgot to add the hockey pucks in there. If I go with the Econo Lift, do I need rear isolators as well, or is the kit ready to go as is? I'm just trying to avoid any regearing or cut CV axles. Maybe the Ironman kit would be the best choice?

It's ready to go as is aside from the bumpstops. oh and of course the front spring/shock assembly. but you can just take that to a shop to have compressed and done for pretty cheap which you would need to do either way anyway.

The Econo kit has everything, springs/ shocks/ UCAs etc for a 3.5-4 inch kit, all excpet for the bumpstops.
If you want to keep it lower with no need to regear I'd do the full Ironman kit with one extra upper rear isolator per side and a top plate in the front along with bumpstops, good over all ride about 2.25 inches of lift when settled in no need for UCAs / regearing unless you try and squeeze in way tall tires:icon_lol:

I see the upper rear isolators on JBA but where can you get the top plates for the front?

Edit: never mind I found them. Any need to redo the front or rear brake lines if I go the route you recommend?

Front brake lines no
rear if you get up in the 4.5 to 6 inch range
later models do have to make a drop bracket for the rear brakeline

Got it. Then 2 bumpstops on every coil? (8 total?)

 

[Snail Farmer]

No.. two hockey pucks on each side for the rear (total of 4, installed on the lower spring perch) then get the teraflex bump stops for the front (replaces the factory stops)

And 2 on each side of the front (teraflex)?

One on each side. If you can get 2 in there you are a wizard

For further clarification

In the front you remove the stock bumpstop and install the teraflex in its place
In the rear you drill a hole through the lower spring pad and also through the pucks, bolt two down per side. You leave the stock upper bumpstop alone in the rear

Oh. I thought I read one bumpstop per side for every inch of lift

For the front, Like Tom clarified. One on each side for the front. The teraflex are extended bumpstops.

2 hockey pucks in each side for the rear though.

Holy thread jack haha! Thanks for the help guys. Before I order my parts I have another question. I noticed my UCA bushings are cracked. Are they replaceable, or should I think about up grading to the JBA UCAs since I'll be messing around in there anyways?
