I am confused..alot of people have been posting about this lift lately and i just want a thread that will clear all of this up for me.

I own a 2008 Black 2 door Sahara. I am doing the lift ONLY for looks! I only may go one time a year. I went mudding in May and broke a bushing. So my mom said i cant be doing any more of it ( i have to listen to her since she bought it ) Once i get the Kit i am also buying 35s and 18'' KMC Hoss's.

If i get the 2.5'' Tera Flex Coil Lift Kit people say i dont NEED anything else but will WANT the following...

1. Extended Break Lines
I am unaware if this comes in the kit or not or if i really need them so please
clear that up for me..
2. Front Lower Control Arms
I am under the impression that i would rather have the front lower control arm
but i am confused do i need the rear upper control arm? and is the front lower
control arm better than the front upper control arm?
3. Front and Rear Adjustable Track Bars
Is it better to have both or is alright if i just get one?
4. New Shocks
Am i ahead to get new shocks rather than shock extentions?
5. Drive Shaft
I am very confused on the drive shaft. I would rather not buy a new onebut
if its going to be for the better i might as well just get it now while im buying
everything else.

It would be awesome if someone out there could clear ALL of this up!

 

This has all be answered a gazillion times

it comes with brackets to extend the brake lines, you don't need control arms, trac bars or driveshafts for this kit. If anything I would get a front adj trac bar. as for shocks if you have an X or sahara get the shocks. If you have a rubi you can get away with shock extensions.

 

are you telling me i dont need any of that stuff because i am not taking it off roading?

 

You don't need the rear control arms if your keeping your stock driveshaft. If you get an aftermarket double uni driveshaft then you will need the rear control arms to set the pinion angle. You won't need new shocks if your not flexing. You won't need extended brake lines if your not flexing, however their not that expensive if you jes have a brake shop make rubber lines (maybe 30 bucks).

 

should i invest in a steering stabilizer?

 

no the stock ones just as good

 

ok so right now i will be getting the 2.5'' TF lift kit w/ shocks, front adjustable track bar, rear adjustable track bar, and should i get the front lower control arm?

 

Just Food for thought, I drive an X with a TF coil and shock adaptors...Feels just fine to me, Ride may be a tad rougher but other than that..No complaints yet!!

 

Id jes start with what you listed..then if you need them you can always add adjustable control arms later.

 

just get the terraflex kit.

nothing else then IF the front wheel is sticking out one side more than the other as you look towards the jeep get an adjustable front trackbar to move the wheel over a bit . you should be good to go
