I'm plan on installing a teraflex 2.5 coil lift in the comings months and I've gathered as much info as I can from digging through other threads. I have some unanswered questions so here we go. I'm going to list all the components that I'm planning on installing and I need help figuring out if I'm missing anything. Because I have a 2 DR, it sounds like I would have rear driveline issues at some point down the road so I would be correcting them now with the arms and wedges. I want my JK to handle at least as well as stock on the street and highway (where I spend most of my time) and handle better offroad. What do you guys think?

    I would go with front control arms instead of the AEV brackets. You'll lose ground clearence with them.

    Aside from that, do you think my setup is pretty complete?

    It's pretty thorough for a 2.5" lift. I have a 3" with JKS adjustable trackbar, teraflex disco's, metal cloak control arms & 5160 Bilstein shocks, but no after market drive shafts. You should be good.

    Yeah I agree on it being thorough. Just the combination of auto (front shaft issue) and 2DR (rear shaft issue) seems to be dictating those driveshafts for me. As far as the rest, the rear arms are to make corrections for the rear shaft, the wedges for the rear arms, and the retainers for the wedges. It seems like you correct one thing and create another issue. I'm thinking though, with everything I've picked out, I've run out of problems to fix At least I hope so. And I should also have a decent platform for growth in the future.
