Default 2.5" rough country coil lift

I have a 2013 2dr sport auto trans, i recently bought some 2.5" rough country coils from a member. My basic question is other then new shocks what do I need! I was thinking longer sway bar disconnects and brake line extensions. Not sure if these things are a must or not, just don't want to muck it up! Any advise is appreciated.Click image for larger version

I recomend you either get new shocks or shock extensions, brake line extensions, longer rear swaybar links,(move rear to front), and maybe a rear trac bar bracket but its not a must.

Nice Ride love the color!! Hopefully you can use the springs with Rancho shocks or some other brand. Quadratech has a section in their essentials mag that can help you choose the right shocks for the amount of lift you want. Building you own kit will be tricky but you can do it

Complete kits are easier to install because the engineering and R&D has already been done for you. All you need is to slap it on or have someone do it for you.

Possibly bump stops as well.

Give the customer service service guys at Rough Country a call. They can piece together everything you need to get the best/safest combination of parts. I've dealt with them a few times with questions I had about my 3.5" lift from them are they are very helpful

I have the exact same kit. Just swap out the springs and get longer shocks. That's all you really need.
