You need an adjustable front trackbar because at 5 inches of lift your front axle will be shifted more toward the drivers side about 3 inches or so. You don't need a swaybar but you either need longer swaybar links OR swaybar disconnects if you want get more articulation offroad. You could probably get away with the stock control arms but I wouldn't recommend it as your Jeep will be stuck with bad pinion angles on the axles which will probably cause vibrations. You will also need longer shocks at 5 inches and could probably squeeze by with the stock brake lines IF you don't offroad your Jeep, if you do then you will need longer brake lines. Hope this helps.

I highly recommend you lift the Jeep right the first time (getting adjustable control arms, longer shocks & brake lines along with the adjusable trackbar) but you can do it with that setup you just described but it WILL affect your ride quality a-lot. At 5 inches you will need longer shocks but you could probably get away with some of these in the mean time... SHOCK EXTENTIONS Hope this helps. Fred R.
