Question:

Help with front suspension parts on a lift?

I recently bought a 1993 Grand Cherokee from a guy who had been putting a lift on it (4.5 inches) but hadn‘t quite completed the suspension on the front end. Here‘s a list of basic parts I need:Front Sway Bar LinksFront Control ArmsPitman ArmMy question, I know that these have to be replaced with parts which are the proper size for a car with a lift, but I‘m not exactly sure what I need to get. The local parts stores told me I would have to order these kinds of things online because they are for lifted cars.As far as the sway bar link, I found something called a long sway bar link, is this what I need? I know the link needs to be longer so it fits the lift.I also found what‘s called a dropdown pitman arm, for cars with lifts from 2-6 inches. Is this also what I need?And then as far as control arms, would adjustable control arms do the trick?If you could help me out that would be great! I‘m not too experienced with this. Once I find the correct parts, putting them on won‘t be very hard for me. Thanks!!!

Answer:

Sounds like you are on the right track just always make sure of the length before purchase. One thing about the sway bars if you are going to buy new, then spend the few extra pennies to get sway bar disconnects they save you alot of head ache on the trail. If you don't offroad then just get what fits. Key thing to remember is that whatever name brand the lift is ie: superlift, fabtech, budget boost, all of these companies will sell replacement parts on their website and also they will have a diagram of the complete lift kit so you can see what is missing.
