Hey guys,
I just recently added a RE standard 3.5 inch lift with 35 BFGs to my 2009 JK. I'm still new to the modding world and have read a lot about secondary issues with stock parts either breaking or malfunctioning after lifts. I have all the stock control Arms, and currently just driving on road. Is there anything I NEED to add?

With a 3.5" lift you probably want to adjust the flighty steering with front lower adjustable control arms. If you are concerned with the off center front wheels you can fix with an adjustable track bar but it isn't necessary.

I believe I have an adjustable track bar that came with the kit. should I get short or long arms? I do tend to get some wobble when I hit bumps every now and then, I haven't gotten around to rebalancing the tires yet. I've read it takes a few tries to correct the balancing issue.
