Hey all. I have a garage full of suspension and steering goodies and I wanted to get the advice from those of you more seasoned to understand the best order in which to install these to minimize the number of times I have got it apart, times I have to get an alignment, and wanting to avoid any issues with upcoming steering box replacement at dealership. Here are the parts I will be installing:

Fuel Vapor wheels 20x9; matte black
General Grabber A/TX E LT35X12.5R-20
MOPAR FOX 2” Lift kit
Steer Smarts YETI XD Pro Adjustable Front Track Bar
Steer Smarts YETI XD Tie Rod Assembly
Steer Smarts YETI XD Drag Links
Steer Smarts YETI XD Steering Stabilizer Relocation Bracket
Steer Smarts YETI XD Flex Steering Stabilizer/ Damper Bracket
SkyJacker Adjustable Rear Track Bar
Synergy MFG front track bar and sector shaft brace
FOX race series 2.0 ATS stabilizer

I’m confident I can install the suspension lift prior to dealer service since it is a MOPAR part so I was thinking...

Suspension lift kit
Wheels & tires
Flash for new tire size
Alignment
Dealer steering box replace
Everything else (what order)?
Alignment again?

Anyone recommend a different approach? Anything that would be silly not to install while installing the suspension lift?

Thanks!

If it was me, I would not do a thing until the steering box is replaced and the steering is correct. Then I would do the suspension and smart steer parts, alignment, wheels and tires, then the calibration adjustment for the speedo. JMO

Agreed. No need to even introduce something non-stock. Pre-TSB my dealership blamed my Mopar lift for steering issues.
