Old man emu suspension question

[Victorsen]

Thinking of getting the old man emu nitro shocks on my badlands non Sas. Had a question on what else I need, was going to get the up graded control arms by icon as well. Just want the additional 2 inches of clearance to tackle some harder trails . Also thinking of keeping my 33. Do I need new tie rods I have the bronco buster on them now. Is there anything else I would need to ensure I keep the geometry and the comfort the same as stock. Thanks

Edit: What year is your Badlands?
How much $ are those shocks going to set you back?
Also. Many choose not to run tie rod braces as they would rather break a tie rod than break the steering rack. You can carry some cheap inner tie rods and the tools to change one if necessary.
I carry inner tie rods and a tie rod brace in my jack storage just in case. Those braces theoretically can be used as a splint to get you off the trail if you break a tie rod. Personally I’d take them off and preserve the rack, but that’s just my opinion.

It’s a 2023 and the cost is 1800

I just put on the OME it rides great, better than then the badlands stock bilsteins. It is great that they have the whole package with the springs and the relocation bracket. Can tell they really did their research. I just need to upgrade my wheels now the 33 look too small. Thinking of the getting the falken at4 for the side wall protection and wheeling that I do.
