Default 2012 exhaust relocation brackets for a 2.5in BB?

Looking to put my 2.5 inch Teraflex BB on next week and I was wondering if I'd need the exhaust relocation brackets for this lift. I have a 2012 JKU and can't come up with a conclusive answer whether or not I'd need the brackets. Thanks for any input.

i ripped my boot with a 2.5" TF BB when i disconnected on my first off road trip. added spacers and replaced stock driveshaft with another takeoff and no issues since.

Im using a combination 3/4" coil lift and 1.75" coil spacer lift, which came out to 2.5" total lift. I checked the droop and there was still almost a full inch between the driveshaft and exhaust crossover......so I will say its not mandatory, but I still added the exhaust spacer for piece of mind and because I decided to add quick discos. 2.5" seems to be a good basic lift....no driveshaft issues, and the brake lines still have adequate slack.

So then it sounds like the exhaust spacers are the way to go...

I'm guessing you have a 2007-2011? 2012 JK has a set of different issues than the previous model years

Any other issues that I should know about besides the exhaust relocation?
