What else do I need?

Just ordered a set of OME 2" rear springs (with shackles and bushings) and ball joint spacers for my 87,l wondering what else I need.

I know i need shocks (suggestions?), do i need one of these http://store.fatbobsgarage.com/_toyo...006-p8479.aspx , Do i need to extend brake lines, how big of a must are front diff drops, any thing else?

sorry for the dozen questions guys, and thanks in advance. next on the list.... rock sliders!

Id stick with the new leafs. I was thinking about doing the zuk mod myself instead of new leafs but I figured id rather replace my old tired leafs rather than just putting a band aid on them. Mine have lasted 280k miles id say its time for some new ones.

Im pretty sure you need new shocks due to the 2in lift. Not really sure about the brake lines

I agree with you on the new leafs over the Zuk mod. I see the zuk as on temporary fix.

Which 2" springs and ball joints did you get. I was considering doing the same but with the BJ spacers in the front.
