Can I run 2''BB on top of 2.5 spring lift??
I currently run a 2.5 Rough Country BB (2.5" front, 2" rear) on my 08 Sahara Unlimited with 35's and there still seems to be some rake. My question is, can I add a 2"' spring leveling kit? ( 2" front 1" rear) Will I need all of the extras such as front adj track bar, rear track bar relocator, and adj control arms?? I know it's 4.5 total but with half of it coming from spacers will I need those and anything else?????

Whether it is 4.5" coils, or 4.5" from a combination of spacers and coils, you will want the same extra components. Up to and including the possibility of new driveshafts and some type of steering correction/flip...

You will Def need an adjustable from track bar and rear track bar bracket or new rear track bar. Also longer sway bar links in the front and possibly new brake lines. Longer shocks as well for a 4 inch lift and you might want to look into some AEV control drop brackets or adj from control arms to try and get your jk aligned right. Honestly it would probably be more cost efficient to buy a complete kit.
