Also, just to make sure .. since the 2.5" teraflex kit does not require rear trackbar relocation bracket, it is safe to say that i don't neet to use the one from Skyjacker's kit if i were to go with it right?

I'm planning to get adj. front and rear trackbar. As it stands right now, i'm thinking of getting the following:

2.5" skyjacker kit (coil and nitro shocks) - not using the relocating bracket
front and rear adj. track bars (not sure which one)
and brake line drop bracket

what do you guys think?

I am wanting to lift mine 2-3", but I am only running 33's.. I am/was leaning towards the Skyjacker kit, but have been reading all the posts about the welds breaking etc.

This is stupid, but I have the Flame Red JK and want the springs and long arms etc to be RED..!!

Thanks Sam
What doojer said. I'm now running a Full Traction 3" Ultimate Lift and 35's.

As far as the red components go, the last time I spoke to Skyjacker at the Off Road Impact Show, I was assured that they would no longer be making their kits in red. They will now be in black.

Correct, you do not need to use the relocation bracket especially if you plan on installing an adjustable set. Otherwise, it sounds like you got everything.

Ha.. just got my LT 295/70R 17123R X5 and the ProComp 7089's x5 Put on this afternoon..

Just barely scrubs on the bottom air dam in a hard left turn.. That's coming off anyway when my Bestop bumpers get here this week!!

I think I will wait awhile on the lift kit stuff to see what develops for the JK a little down the road..

I just used the factory track bar without any relocation bracket and had no problems what so ever.

It just came out not too long ago and it'll probably take some time before more people have it and can talk about it one way or another.
