Default 5 Inch Lift

What would be needed besides the things included in the lift to make this work?

Thanks

longer brake lines and shocks if the kit dosent come with it. what kit you going with?? i sell 4x4 parts (this is not an advertisement) and i could gladly help turn ya in the direction towards the right kit. I gonna assume you own a dodge because your sig dosent say what kind of truck it is. skyjacker isnt cheap but its a great kit, superlift is cheaper but still the same quality, then fabtech which is good quality but is expensive. you could go with a set of 7 inch diesel skyjacker coils, lift mounts, and a long arm setup for ultimate ride.

Buddy is lookin at a 5 inch lift for his 02 dodge. I think he was lookin at the super lift kit which does not come with the shocks so he knows he needs those but we were curious if anything else would be needed. He seems to think the pinion angle would change to much and he would need new driveshafts but i wasnt sure. Thanks for the help.

superlift's come with shocks, i should know, ive sold 5 kits and they all came with shocks including my 5.5 inch kit for my ranger, i think the guy he is getting prices from is trying to stick him. pinion angle wont be affected on the truck.

what is it he is wanting to do? what size tires does he want to fit ect.

the superlift kit is junk. piece together a lift it is much cheaper.

but besides the lift a trac bar drop or new trac bar is needed, new sway bar links if he decides to keep them, no brake lines are needed you can cut an remount the brake line bracket or make a relocation bracket, longer shocks ( I can help with this PM me),

if you buy a off the shelf kit it should come with a track bar drop bracket.
