Default Old man emu 2.5" lift parts

Hey guys,I just purchased a used OME kit for my '14 JKU. I was told it was a 2.5" lift (not long travel) and given the following parts:
4 coils
4 shocks
2 teraflex control arms
2 track bars
2 brackets

Am I missing any hardware or anything else?

Thanks in advance!

Longer swaybar links front and rear. What did he say those brackets are for?

Not sure what you paid for those parts and not trying to be offensive but they look a little rough. Those look like old stock track bars to me.

But a basic ome kit only comes with 4 springs and 4 shocks.

X2..if the price was right, its a start! Otherwise looks a little rough to be putting on a '14

My first guess on the left bracket was brakeline relo. Maybe the one on the right is too, and that's just what he had laying around to use? Or a cheesy trackbar or stabilizer relo?

At that height, you can disconnect the brakeline from the frame to get enough slack, so shouldn't be an issue. But definitely look in to longer links to get the swaybars level again.

What are the part numbers on the springs and shocks? Those track bars look like oem. I'd have joints in those arms checked to be sure they are still good.

The price was definitely right. I wasn't planning on a lift right away but then this popped up locally at a price that was too good to pass up.

I was thinking that the track bars looked factory as well but they don't have anything stamped in them... not sure if factory does or not, but I would have thought so. I haven't given everything a good cleaning yet, but the control arms are covered in grease from the bag that I had them in so that might be why they look so rough. I'll definitely have them checked first. They came off of a Jeep with only 30k miles, not sure how much of that the lift was on for.

Part numbers for springs:
OME617
OME619

Shocks:
N196
N198

I was able to track down the guy I bought the lift from, he said that the brackets are for track bar relocation and the track bars are factory.
