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..

Does your lift come with bump stops? If not you may need those as well. I was told the factory shaft would be fine for normal driving with a 3.5" lift so I'm guessing you will be fine with a 2.5 for quite a while if you're not flexing much.

It is a kit with new bolts for the track bar and the front lower control arms. Evidently jeep used the wrong size bolts which can lead to the dreaded......DEATH WOBBLE!!!!!!!! I am going to be replacing the track bar anyway so, it just made sense. Do a search on it, lots of info.
So, the pro cal works on 2012?!?! this is the first that I am hearing about this.
