Default 2010 Sahara JKU

Hello all, new guy here. I have been lurking for a while and finally decieded to jump in. Here is my question, I have a 2010 JKU, and am wanting to put 35/12.50/18 on it manily for hunting and mall crawling (have a 98 TJ if things really need to get done). My question is I have been reading and looks like teraflex is a good all around lift, looking at the 2.5 in lift, what else exactly am I going to need with this? Im wanting to do this right (keep in mind im not going to be crawling it so no serious mods needed). I have read that you need an adj. track bar and also that you do not need it. I plan on putting a 1" spring spacer up front to make up for the bumper and winch... all info is welcomed...thanks in advance. I guess i said all of that to ask..what in addition to the teraflex 2.5 lift kit am i gonna need to lift it right?

looks like you already know what you need. for 35" tires, a 2.5" lift is about all you need especially for your purpose. adjustable front track bar is nice to have to recenter your axle but, not necessary. make sure that you order shocks made for a 2012 with 2.5" of lift and you won't even have to address your front drive shaft. with a lift this small, there really isn't a whole lot more you need or could do wrong.
