After Christmas, I am going to start assembling parts for a SOA lift with cross over steering. I think I have a pretty good list of needed parts, but I am looking for input to make sure I am not forgetting anything. I know there will be small parts that I am going to need that I wont realize till I start tearing things apart, but I want to make sure that I have the big items. So far this is what I think I need:
SOA kit $100.00 BJ's Offroad *changed*
shackle flip kit $100.00 user off IFSJA
right side flat top knuckle $ 75.00 junk yard
right side steering arm $ 80.00 partsmike
stud kit $ 25.00 partsmike
extended brake lines $105.00 BJs offroad
4"drop pitman arm $ 65.00 BJs offroad *added*
F250 shock mount $20.00 partsmike
new shocks $200.00 estimate *added*
HIEM kit $50.00 Ruff Stuff *added*
total $820.00
Is there anything that I am forgetting about? I think I have it all. I imagine that I would have to extend the drag link, so I might have to add some TREs and DOM tubing. Any suggestions, tips, or hints would be greatly appreceated.

Dropped Pitman arm? about $90.00 then pick up some taller tires and throw them on the stock rims for a while. Then go to the 35's and do the re gear. then....  now the chase begins, remember (just empty every pocket)! |

It's hard trying to save money as well as being cheap. the important thing is to get the right thing first. One thing for sure, this will be a fun upgrade.

I hear ya, it is gonna take me a few months to collect the parts I need, but I am patient. As I figure what I need, I will slowly collect them till I have them all. I am hoping that it will be easier than I think it will, but we will see.

I added and changed a few parts on my list. Let me know what y'all think. Also, I am looking at some some HIEMs from Ruff Stuff. I want to use these to build a drag link from the drop pitman arm to the passenger side steering knuckle. I am thinking of the 3/4" HIEM kit with a left and right thread. Do you think 3/4 will be strong enough or should I go with the 7/8" HIEM kit? Not sure if the 3/4 would work or would even be a good size.

He had a shackle flip kit that he is selling. The flip kit is the same one sold from BJ's web site. There is a guy on the IFSJA site named Tad who makes the SOA/ SF kit and sells it through BJs web site. Through BJs site, the SF kit is about $200. There is a guy on the IFSJA site for sale section that is selling a SOA/SF kit as well as two flat top knuckles with the steering arms already attached for about $700. That is actually a pretty good deal if you are looking.

No, those are the parts I am planning on buying. They are about $20 dollars and are a much stronger shock mount that the stock FSJ mount. I fugure while doing the lift, I might as well apgrade the shock mount.

Well, I got my hands on a JK shaft which is longer and a little beefier that my stock FSJ front shaft. I am hoping that will fit, but I might have to lengthen or shorten both the front and rear shafts. That is part of the "fun of doing this kind of lift. I know with the 6" spring lift both shafts are okay, so I will have to wait and see what needs to be done. I think I am going to have to notch the crossmember and I am sure there will be a few other issues that will have to be sorted out  . |
