I bought a used lift and it turned out to he a hinze 57 modle. I was wondering if somone could answer some of my questions. I have a TJ with 373 gears and a dana 30 and 44 running 33 12.50 15 tires. The front springs measuure 17 inches rear and 21 1/2 inches front uncompressed, are these 4 inch lift springs? The front upper are adjustable JKS the rear upper are adjustable Rubicon express super flex the rear lower are adjustable with rubber bushings and the front are non adjustable superlift. The front track bar is adjustable and uses a tie rod end not a heim joint and the rear is a Rubicon express adjustable. Is this a good set up, the upper links will flex out well but the lower just have bushings. I have some Warrior 2 inch front sway bar disconnects will they work? Do I need rear disconnects? longer links or just stock? I have a 1 inch body lift now with a 1 inch motr mount lift will I still need a transfer case drop. I cant afford a SYE and new drive shaft now. I have a 1.75 bds budget boost on my TJ now should I use the extended bump stops? Any advise would be grate. I am a mechanic so the work is no big deal. I am going to strip the paint off and rebuild/ replace worne parts. I also wanted to ask how do I know when the control arms are adjusted correctly? I also just added JKS disconnects, They are a little longer than my Warrior ones. Should I use the longer ones in the front?

4 inches of lift with stock length links is not the greatest way to go. Your link angle is to steep. I'd have bought a long arm kit. The SYE is a must when going over 2" IMHO. You'll know the links are adjusted correctly when you put it on a four wheel alignment rack and it checks out. I use levels and a tape measure along with an angle finder to set the caster.
