So from some reasearch I have been doing, I have discovered that the 74 and 75 Wagoneers are some kind of guinea pig type of vehicle. And it is my understanding that I can piece together the puzzle that could be a 4 inch lift for my 75. (If I am wrong in any of this, please help me out) So far, I have gathered that the front leafs off of a 76 kit will fit with no problem. But the rear leafs are a different story, the 73 rear leafs can fit the 75, but with some modifications to the bushings. And then things that I am not sure if I need. Extended brake lines. Are the stockers long enough to reach after a 4 inch lift? Drop pitman arm. Will this also be needed for a 4 inch lift? And what would be the best shocks for this set-up? Will some extra fabrication be needed to mount them? Or is there already spots for them?

I can't answer all your q's, but I do know from experience that the drop pitman will be wanted. Bump steer SUCKS and any type of weather makes it worse. IMO, I would do the longer brake lines for 2 reasons, knowing they will never get to thier end, and they are clean and new. I hope I helped even a little....

Yep, those are the two things that I am most concerned with. Thanks
