I just ordered;

1 Rocky Road 3" combo lift(2" BB with BPE's,1" BL)
1 pair Teraflex quicker disconnects
1 JKS MML


If I believe the crappy Haynes book, I will have to remove the axles to put the pads in, based on their instructions for spring removal. B**L***T!!!
I should be able to pull the calipers, shocks, and swaybar and drop it enough to do the job. I'll wait and see what the instructions say.

thats all you need to do that lift! drop the shocks, swaybar no real need to take off calipers at all. word to the wize. take the fan shorud off before you lift either the motor or body. really easy to do that lift! Oh! the rear has a swaybar too!

FYI... I don't know how the rear swaybars are connected on TJ/YJ, but on XJ's you can use the bracket that connects to the leafs to make your own BPE.

I'm willing to bet they'll work though. You could probably get them for a few dollars a peice, if not free, at a pull-it place. I have a few extras I think. We can size it up at logans next wed and see. I don't know about you TJ guys, but I'd rather spend $5 on something that will do the same thing that a $50 something will :)

The kit I got comprises of the suspension lift, bar pin eliminators, and body lift, for $175. Seemed reasonable to me. Supposedly I won't need to mess with the trackbar either, until I go over 2". I'm on a tight budget, so I got the
MML that's just spacers and stud extenders from JKS. When the stock mount's
rubber goes, I'll just clean 'em out and redo them with some Shore80 strength
urethane. If I can pour LCA bushings for my CRX, I can do a Jeep motor mount. :P

I thought it would be pretty easy to do. I'm way ahead of you on the shroud thing, but thanks for looking out anyway! :)
