Noob question

[USN X]

Just got a quick question guys just came up on a really good deal on these parts and I'm just wondering if this would be all I need to install on my X, as in do I need any other parts to install these without having any problems. I have the rear adjustable shackles on order right now along with my 2in body lift parts but I'm wondering if I could just go ahead and install these or if there is anything else I need to buy to not run into any problems.

I don't see AAL?

If no AAL, you'd need AAL to raise the butt a matching 3", or, just install the adj shackles, and raise the front by the same amount the shackles lifted the butt. (Less overall lift, but, the same articulation)

As after installing the above, you'd need a wheel alignment...I'd wait for the shackles and do it all at once then get the alignment.

The shocks could go on w/o waiting, so could the BL.

If you don't already have HD TRA/IAB, etc...your steering could use some beefing.

The rear sway goes in the garbage if not done already. The front sway will need longer uplinks to take off the stress of the added ride height.

Make sure you've got slack in the brake and diff breather lines at full droop.

Start spraying PB Blaster now, every day or so until you need to bust the nuts, etc.

TJTJ thank you very much for the very informative reply! I am new to 4x4, not to cars or mechanics but definitely 4x4 lol but so far I love it!

I'm getting ready to order my AAL I found some decent priced ones online and in trying to find the longer uplinks for the sways online but I'm not having any luck.

Would he need the AAL if he set the adjustable shackles to the max settings? It's like 2.25 inch of lift or so, correct?

Longer uplinks are stuff you can get at PepBoys/Home Depot...some pipe and Grade 8 Bolts.



Get 3-Pack AAL, not 1 or 2 leafed versions.
