I'm in the process of putting on 5.5" RockKrawler coils on my TJ, and I need to know what components I need to make my steering geometry correct.
thanks

For 5.5" of lift you need to relocate your trac bar, so that the axle is centered properly. You can do this by drilling a new hole for the trac bar, or getting a new one. Obviously, when you lift you need an alignment. You can get away with a new trac bar, or relocating it and an alignment. Depending on your setup, what you wanna spend and what you want to do, you may want to drop your trac bar mount a bit and with that drop your pitman arm. Just remember that you have to drop your pitman arm and trac bar mount the same amount for your steering to work correctly.

You just mentioned coils in your post, and I am assuming you are not JUST using coils. You do know you need to do control arms, shocks, get extended swaybar links, or better yet disconnects. Are you just buying coils and throwing them in, or do you have a kit?

yeah, JU up yours!!
I've already got the pitman arm, shocks, disco's, and arms covered.
I just wasn't sure about the trackbar.
