Here is my LJ. 05 unlimited. Mods 4.88 gears, 6" superlift long arm suspension lift, sye, tom woods rear drive shaft, 315/75/16 BFG KTM2, currie off road sway bar, warn bumpers and tire carrier, 9k warn winch, Best top soft top. Needs aftermarket wheels.
All I purchased was the lift kit which includes, shocks, springs, lower front and rear control arms, and it worked out nicely. I had to purchase an aftermarket steering stabilizer to "bandage" the DW. But I wouldn't necessarily blame it on the 4" lift because I was experiencing the DW even before the lift. I've really not had any problems with this setup since.
I personally didn't purchase a cv driveshaft. I was told I didn't need one......yet. I haven't experienced any vibrations or anything of that sort. As for the SYE, rubicons, I was told, don't require one.
It all depends with a 4" lift it can be a toss-up. Typically, no you're covered with everything most lifts include, but it should be something to put on your list down the line. But there are those who find the angle is off so much that it will be required.

Nickeagle that jeep is sick,that front bumper and fenders look badass.What kind of bumper and fenders are those and what kind of $ did you dish out for that set up bumpers and fenders.
The bumper is a smittybuilt XRC and the tube fenders are the smittybuilt no flair tubes. I think the bumper was 175 ish and the fenders are around 250. Check summitracing.com for the best prices on smittybuilt stuff. one more pic for good measure haha
