2 more months till I get my lift!
Well like the title says, I will have my lift in two more months! I am beyond excited! Even my wife is excited! After months of research I think I have narrowed it down. What do you all think? Am I missing anything? This is simply the starting point, there will be other add-ons as time goes by and I figure out what else I need/want. This is my daily driver, I do not foresee any rock crawling in the future, mainly mud and sand and that won't be happening all the time. My hope is that this will improve the ride quality a bit and of course improve the look of my Jeep. Please feel free to chime in and give me your thoughts/opinions. Thanks!

Cool, thanks for the suggestions. Was already thinking of control arms. I think the next think might be a tuner, thinking DiabloSport Trinity.
After that who knows, I know I am wanting some sort of side rails/steps, front and rear bumpers, Teraflex hinged carrier, lots o lights everywhere, that beautiful Tom Woods drive shaft, more decals, etc...

I have pretty much everything you mentioned. 2.5 TF coil with bilstein 5100 shocks. JKS adjustable track bar, the kit comes with a rear drop bracket. 315/70/17 Duratracs on 7069's. I added the TF LCA's but it was definitely tolerable without them, I would suggest to wait and drive it first. I don't do rocks because there isn't any where I am but it handles great in snow, sand and mud. You'll want a programmer or procal to adjust for the tires. All in all you will be happy with it for sure. There are pics in my profile.

No specific reason. I've had Bilsteins previously on a few trucks and was happy with them so decided to stick with them. Some say they find them stiff but I don't really notice. I went back and forth between the 5100 and the Fox 2.0's but got a good deal on the Bilsteins.

Sounds like a good enough reason... gonna have to look into that! Thanks!
