Humor me. Tomorrow I am ordering the following: Teraflex 2.5 coil lift with bilstein 5100's, Teraflex adjustable track bar (and the new bolt kit), exhaust spacer kit, Bushwacker flat flares, 35" BFG KM2's on black AEV Pintlers. Probably gonna get some ACE rock rails too. Anything I am missing? Pics of a similar setup would be helpful. Thanks.

Doing the lift yourself? If so do you have all the tools? Torque wrench, jack stands, locktite

At first people said to go with the exhaust spacers but apparently this is just a bandaid and you're drive shaft is going to cause problems eventually anyways. So I went with a Coast 1310 and left the spacers out. The spacers actually drop your exhaust cross over to the point where it is even or below the cross member so it isn't a good idea anyways if you plan on going off pavement.

All my crap is in the garage waiting to go on the jeep next week when it arrives but you're forgetting bumpers and skid plates.

BTW I have a set of spacers I'll sell you for cheap. I bought them then decided to go with a new drive shaft instead.

Might want to pick up an AEV Procal to reset your speedo. Also, there are a couple threads in the Show & Tell section concerning 2.5" lifts.

Can the dealer recalibrate the speedometer?

Only up to 32" tires, which is the biggest tire available (from factory) for stock JKs...

I have the bumpers and winch already. I plan on doing the lift myself in my modestly equipped garage. David at Northridge recommended the exhaust spacers, so I thought "What the hell!" I don't do a lot of extreme offloading, just trails for camping. It is a 2012, so no Procal :( I thought about driveshafts but it is too much $$$ right now. The wife was good enough to go along with all of this so I don't want to push my luck. So realistically, how long before the driveshafts crap out? It is only a 2.5" lift..
