Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Second is that the way it was explained to me is that if you use the stock control arms then you have to cut the control arm mounts for cam bolts. It is much more advisable to purchase adjustable control arms.
I did forget about pinion angle. I think I will go with a short arm kit and the Evo coilovers then.

Here is an idea for you:

ORE front coil kit
Teraflex LA kit
Teraflex high steer kit
Teraflex 4" rear coils
Teraflex rear shocks from the 6" lift kit

This will be my set up with in the next few weeks. I currently run a 3" teraflex lift kit. I'll be selling pretty much the entire kit except for the rear trackbar bracket. That I'll sell in the summer when I get the rear EVO lever kit

Good luck!

That is very close to the setup I started with when I first went with the coilovers in front. You will be very happy with that setup!

Will I need longer sway bar links? Will the rear trackbar bracket that came with the 2.5" TF BB suffice or should I get an adjustable rear trackbar?

Jeez, why do I have so many questions?

You should either upgrade your rear TB bracket(Teraflex rear TB bracket that comes with 3" lifts and up) or an adj rear TB if you plan to go higher. As for the swaybar links, in my case I needed them to be longer because I plan to go up to 5" of lift.

My advice to you is give Mel a call at ORE. He'll be more than happy to answer all of your questions.

Good luck!

It's starting to wear through the outside of the hose, is it a steel braided line covered with a blue rubber?

Dude, call Mel!

Trust me, I have spoken over the phone with most of the guys/gals at ORE and they are very very helpful when answering all of my questions. That way you get the info first hand from the source. So feel free and give them a buzz. They don't bite


You won't be disappointed.

Good luck!
