Default Am I missing anything?

I have a 2015 Jk 2 door sport.
I already have installed a shorty front bumper, flat fenders and replaced the inner fender wells.


I'm going with 35x12.5x15's on Ar27's with 3.75 bs.
I'm getting ready to order my lift.
The plan is Metalcloak 2.5" gamechanger with the Rocksport shocks.
Metalcloak rear spring relocators.
I'm still trying to decide what front driveshaft to go with or if I need one with the 2.5" lift.
Do I need to change out any of the steering components?

Thanks
Dayton

Check your local driveline shop for a drive shaft. You should get the exhaust spacer kit as well.

It's always a good idea to keep steering upgrades in mind. They are nothing that are an immediate need, but you will be putting more stress on things. Ball joints are something to keep an eye on, and depending on how you use your jeep a tie rod might be a decent idea if you wheel in the rocks.

Thank you,
Mainly a DD right now.
I'm in Central Texas and working on figuring out where to go wheeling.
