I'd follow this if I were you:

- T-Case Lowering Kit XJ/ZJ
- Brake Line SS Rear XJ/ZJ
- 3" Front Bumpstop
- Shackle XJ Rear 1.25" Lift
- U-Bolts YJ Dana 35 Rear
- BRAKE LINES SS FT XJ/MJ/ZJ/C
- Control Arm SF2 Lower Fixed
- Control Arm SR2 Upper Ft Fix
- Sway bar Disconnects Set With 6" Centers Tube
- Sway Bar Disconnects Adapter Bracket XJ-ZJ
- Sway Bar Relocation Brackets
- Extra H.D. Track Bar XJ/ZJ
- H.D. Track Bar Bracket XJ/ZJ
- Coil Springs ZJ 4.5" Front
- 4.5" Extreme Duty XJ Rear Spring
- XJ Control Arm Drop Brackets

Anyone else want to chime in and add to, please do...I might be missing something, but this list is off the Rubicon Express website and it's for a 5 1/2 inch lift. Good luck!!

Depending on the year, a TC drop more than likely will not stop the vibes at the DS. I would STRONGLY suggest a SYE and CV-DS for a 5" lift.
