In the states from May 2015 to June 2016 my jeep will be in Alabama mostly parked here I plan on the following:
May 2015
Psc brawler lite w/stinger if next custom bumper doesn't do it for me
Psc rocker knockers
Psc hood louvre
Psc fender flares and cross members(might go synergy cross member)
Rhino lining interior/ axles and frame.

June 2016
Prorock 44 with eaton e locker and 5.13 gearing
Regear back to 5.13 w/eaton e
Full under skid system(synergy or metal cloak)
Psc dana 44 cover
Psc tire carrier
In June if I have money left I will either upgrade to 4"t flex or 3.5 rk complete kit with the tflex pre runner upgrade. Front driveshaft is a must here because I'll be driving from Florida to Alaska in 1 week. Might change parts up I'm open to recommendations for everything but rocker knockers and hood louvre. The list may change the jeep may wreck who knows but here are the plans. Now for some reviews and then some write ups in January. Happy jeep in!

Review of teraflex 2.5 lift

Ease of install: 4stars (front bumpstops extensions sucked but they will never come out without being cut)
Drivability on road:4 star(stock is 3) with bilsteins 3 without
Drive ability off road:4 star with bilsteins
Would I recommend: yes(purchased for $550)

Bilstein upgrade review
This made the lift awesome I have plenty of travel and need discos for front.

With this set up I am never worried about a front coil coming out since I almost couldn't get them in. The rear however could be a little longer since I don't think the retainers will do much, but hey that's why we don't disconnect the back right?!

Teraflex did a great job providing some beefy quality parts and some good bang for buck. Lift eliminated rack and with a 50lb rear bumper and 80lb front the front sits about an centimeter higher than the back(winch would probably level it out).

Road handling stock I would push a jeep to about 25 to 30 mph through a right turn leaving base. Now with the lift and mud tires it's usually 30 to 40 and I have less body roll. Now interstate let's not talk about. Before I could go 80 to 90 before I felt worried and bouncy. Now 75 is pushing it and my gas mileage has dropped.

Off road handling is way better watch the tflex pre runner video. Doing something like that the teraflex with the blisteins could definitely go 10 to 20mph faster than stock. Bottom out way less and rips through deeper mud all of which is expected. I haven't high centered yet though I did get my gas skid hung up on a rock. But this lift even with stock tires will make you much more capable and is ready to work with 35s. Blew up a stock shock( with extenders) my first trip with it going stupid hard through a course I didn't have the bumpstops installed yet.

I have the bumpstop extensions down to an art form if you need help just hit me up. I'll post a pic of the back drop on a lift so you can see rear down travel.
