Default 2.5" BB and 34's???

here's the list for my 2-door X


teraflex BB w/ shocks (if they're any good)

tera front discos & brake line extenders

thinking about adjustable track bars

and 305/70/17 goodyear MTR's

already have 1.5" spacers on stock 17's


now for the ?'s


will the tires rub disco'd @ full flex?

do I really need track bars? if off-center 1/4" or less, I'm thinking not

get their shocks or spring for some good m-tubes?

and anything else I might need?

thanks for any info,
Wes

I'm not sure that you need new shocks. I'd try to find some used Rubicon shocks, and use buy the kit with the shock relocation brackets. Otherwise people seem to think that the upgraded shocks make a big difference.

34" is an odd tire size, but it seems like there are lots of folks running 35"s with the 2.5 BB. Would guess that you'll be okay.

There's ton's of threads around on this. The search will get you more info. than your question.

I just got the Extenders, the stock shocks seem fine.
The kit comes with rear brake line extenders, the fronts don't need them.

I had to trim a little off the corner of the lower air damn but other then that I don't have any rubbing. I went with new steelies instead of spacers with 315/70/17 BFG AT's
I don't have new track bars but plan on getting at least the rear since it's about 1/4" off. The front is only an 1/8" off so I'll probably just leave it alone.
