I looked at teraflex website and thier 2.5" coil spring kit shows bump stops and sway bar links. I assume when you sain coil and springs you ment coils and shocks? If you are running stock shocks they will limit your droop and you will not get the full benifit of the lift. I'm sure you can find the links and bumpstops needed on the forum or thru Teraflex.

.....As the previous poster mentioned, aside from the shocks & coils you will also need:

-Rear relocation track bar bracket or rear adjustable track bar.
-Rear extended sway bar links, then use the stock rear links on the front.
-Front & rear bumpstops.
-Rear extended brake line brackets.
-(Optional) Adjutable front track bar.

definately need bump stop extensions to prevent over compressing your shocks. you need at least rear sway bar links. move the rears to the front. track bar drop bracket for the rear is a really good idea. also might want to consider front break lines. i have the teraflex 2.5 an im not entirely comfortable with my front break lines at full flex in the front. i feel like thet are pulling/stretching just a little further than ide like

Ya just remove the bracket and leave it off, I put a couple of zipties around the lines to the shock itself cuz a full droop, the brake line can break if it gets caught on the lower shock bolt
