Default 4dr coils on 2dr question

I replaced my 2dr X springs(12/13f, 55r) and shocks with 4dr springs (18f,59r) and rubi shocks (it netted me about 2 inches front and 1.5 rear and was free!) and my primary debate is 285/70r17 or 315/70r17. My current question is if I put a 1" spacer would it be a good idea to add bumpstop, shock, and brake line ext since it's already streched out some?...I'm concerned if I got a 2.5 teraflex bb I would start having caster issues...any ideas or anything I'm missing?....

The AEV 2.0 spacer lift gives about the same lift you got, and it comes with front and rear bumpstops, brakeline drop bracket for the front only, front and rear shock extensions, and extended sway bar links. But then the Teraflex leveling kit is also close to your lift height, and it only provides longer front sway bar links. Probably could go either way in your case, depending on what type of performance/flex your looking for. Once you flex with your new tires, you'll know for sure if you need bumpstops.

I also started with a Rubi Spring swap. I switched to a Teraflex 2.5 coil lift and I only gained 1.5 inches. If you add a 2.5 puck to the rubi springs, it would definitely be a good idea to add bumpstops, brake line and shock extensions. I would even go with adjustable sway bars.

I'm trying to make sure my bases are covered...I'm not rdy to do a 3-4inch lift to have max articulation with 35's but they just look so good...so I'm trying to decide between functionality with the 285's or looks with the 315's and new wheels. I'm in south ga so I see alot of mud, ditches, and light trails...not many rocks
