I have been doing more research for my lift kit and have found a 4.5" IRO kit that looks to be complete. Can someone look over this kit http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch..._Code=IR-Z4PLK and let me know of any extras I should think of purchasing? I really want 33x12.50's so I need to go to 4.5" I know trimming will be necessary to fit these tires, and there will be a power loss, i'm not concerned about this. Any other problems with this setup?

WJ chris is just trying to help, before you spend over a thousand bucks on a lift it would be good to educate your self. read the faq section.

Make sure that you get adjustable control arms and track bars with it also. Fixed is a waste of time and you will end up getting adj. ones any way. Save yourself the headache

great kit, compleat and works great, wish i got adjustable ca's though but it is not a must. trimming will be a must with 33's i rub some with 32's.

riceburner,
I would start with 32s (get some cheapos) and see if you really want to go bigger. THe 4.5 kit with 32s will take your stocker to tonka in no time.

I know WJ Chris was just trying to help out, and i will read that thread and the faq's when i get a little more time. I really like the look of 33's compared to 32's, I've looked at a lot of pictures, so I dont think you will persuade me to go smaller. I'm more worried that they will rub on the control arms because they're 12.50's.

really, that thread takes 5 minutes to read, more time than it took you to type your replies.
Trust me, young grasshopper, you will be enlightened. More than worth your time to read.
And you came for advice, I gave some. Please dont be like those that ask the same question over until they get only what they want to hear.

WJ's and ZJ's have the same exact suspension?  Why do they sell different kits then? I thought they were different?

Saying you are fine with power loss and actually experiencing power loss are two different things.
Get 32s. You will spend most of your time on road anyway and the next time you drive up a hill you will thank us.
Also, it's a good kit. I run it.
