Default 2.5 TF coils and Adj control arms question

I am going to a 2.5 TF lift on my 2 dr JK ( kit was ordered as a 2.5 JKU kit before they were 2dr/4dr specific so should net a 3 inch lift).
The qustion is should i go with both upper and lower adjustable front and back or just the front lower and rear uppper like the TF directions recomend?

Thanks for any help.

For what it's worth I'd install the lift and drive it first and see what you think and how it handles. I'd definitely add the front trackbar to re-square the axle. I added the front lowers after and it made all the difference. No real need for the rear uppers but if you want to spend the money go for it.

If you are not concern about ground clearance, then do the brackets. But if you want to lift the Jeep for more than just the looks, then do the control arms.

Rear arms are only needed if you require an aftermarket rear driveshaft. At 3" you'll probably want longer front lowers to correct caster to help steering feel and control. Drop brackets are fine if you don't mind giving up some ground clearance.

I have added all four adjustable TF control arms to my TF 2.5 coil lift. They are all set the same length as the stock ones. I got them for when I decide to go taller. I would surely get the adj. trackbar though.

FYI

if you are going with a 4 arm setup. The rear part # is 1654840 and not 1654800
