Default Have 2.5 RC lift and want 3.5 RC

So I have the 2.5 RC coil kit with .75 spacers. I also have the front adj trackbar and rear trackbar bracket. I am thinking about ordering just the 3.5 inch springs for the 4 door. Do you guys think the shocks I have will work and also do you think I need anything else? Or will my trackbar and rear trackbar bracket work?? After my winch and rear bumper it's dropped a lot!!

I would call rc and see if they can build you an upgrade kit. The new nitro shocks are better than the 2.2 ones. IMO if you get shocks not from rc get rancho I had them on my last setup and they were nice.

Hey thanks for the advice. Does anyone out there know anyone who has upgraded and kept the front trackbar and rear bracket? Also would this mean I need new control arms?? Also would there be any issues with the driveshafts??? I have a manual.

You have a adjustable track bar in the front so the drop down bracket should not be used in the front. As for lca's rc has fixed ones. But it looks like you would best be served with adjustable ones cuz you do a lot of flexing.

As for driveshaft clearance you have a manual so no auto tranny pan to worrie about. you should be ok take a look at my build pics. The exhaust spacer clears it by a good 6+ inches
