I have a 96 zj limited and plan to buy a 98 zj in the future as a project. I heard that after 3" of lift other parts need to be changed also and other mods have to be done because of the stress to these parts. I am just getting into this stuff and I have seen various kits on eBay for sale with 4.5" which is what I would like to put. So if I want to do a 4.5" lift on it, what else besides shocks and springs would I need?
Here is the kit that I’m talking about

Does it include everything I need?
You will need a slip yoke eliminator and CV drive shafts. You should change the transfercase from an all wheel drive to one that has 2 and 4 WD ability. I also would reccomend a lift kit from Rustys off road. They have great kits for the Grand.
