Default 2.5 TF COIL needs Track Bars?

Ive trolled the forums but cant realy find what im looking for. I dont mind spending the money but i need to know.

If i get the Tera Flex 2.5 lift with a 34 bfg km do i need new brakelines and front and rear adJ TRACK BARS AS WELL AS A STEERING STABILIZER? I JSUT WANT TO MAKE SURE I DO MY LIFT RIGHT. kEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN I CAN QUIT DRIVING MY RUBI AS A dd IM GOING TO LIFT IT HIGHER sorry for the caps to lazy to retype. Do i need these parts to avoid tearing up my rubicon?

Thanks,

Matt

no. the kit comes with rear brake line relocation brackets and your front lines will be long enough. while an adjustable front track bar would be nice, it isn't needed. the rear now comes with a drop bracket so you are good there. as far as steering stabilizers go, no, you will not need one. i ran a factory one for almost 2 years before smashing it on a rock at the begining of summer. so you know, i was running it with my 5" of lift and 37" tires. currently, i am driving without any steering stabilizer and have no problems.

What wayoflife said. The front will be offset 1/2 on the drivers side. Which means to have it perfectly centered you would make an adjustable trackbar 1/4 longer than stock. I put one on mine, but not right away. It was fine without it, just make sure you center you steering wheel by adjusting your draglink. I just took a 15mm wrench with me on a test ride and stopped beside the road and made an adjustment until it was right. I replaced my stabilizer, but just because I wanted the Teraflex one to go with my shocks. I've heard it's not necessary. The rear comes with a bracket so an adjustable trackbar is not needed, but I also put one on anyway. Why, idunno, I guess I like spending money on my Jeep

I have this kit, and my front axle is off center. I've developed a decent vibration at around 57 mph. I am going to install a front trackbar to square things up a bit and see if that helps my vibration.

thanks guys, i actully wheeled with a guy today in my club that h as several terflex kits. He said it wasnt needed but after reading here and looking around id rather play it safe and go ahead and get the trackbars. I hear alot that the highway ride is better then the stock. Is that right?
