I am piecing together some upgraded suspension components for my Overland on 35’s. Trying to be budget conscious for now and then add on parts later on down the line.

For this reason I am going with the @Clayton Off Road ride right 2.5” plus the front LCA’s just be done with front suspension components. Going with Fox 2.0 shocks and steering stabilizer.

What I want input on is if you were to spend another $500-700 which would you do next.

All 4 rear control arms and be done with the lift.

Upgraded 1 ton steering like the Currie Currectlync.

Antirock swaybar.

It’s a daily driver that I wheel frequently, and I will do all of the upgrades in the next year or so.

If it were me, and since you say that you wheel it frequently, I'd do the rear control arms and be done with the lift first. This way you can get the pinion angle set right and get the additional flex.

This does seem like the most responsible thing to do, I just really hate crawling under the Jeep to disconnect the front sway bar, the last two trips it was below zero, so I really want to just throw the Antirock in now.

With only 2.5” of lift is the pinion angle really going to cause issues? I read a lot of guys without rear geometry correction that don’t notice anything. Worst case will be a driveline vibration, or some wear on the driveshaft right?

Me… since mine is a long haul daily driver I made sure my steering components were upgraded… but it’s your rig… each time you change suspension or front components, except the antirock, you will need to do an alignment
