help with 2.5 bb lift w/ 35 DuraTrac tire
i have 09 wrangler x unlimited 4 dr.
i'm looking at the teraflex bb 2.5" with shocks + good year DuraTrac tire
question
#1 : i want to run 35's but not sure which size is 35
#2 : do i need to install an adjustable front track bar after the bb 2.5 lift?
#3 : 35's need regearing? but i'm having dana 30 as front axle... would it be a waste regearing dana 30??? but getting dana 44 is very expensive...
#4 : back spacing? how much do i need for running 35's? can i still use stock 255/75/17 STA as back up?
Thanks

There is a big FAQ section at the top of this modified area. Lots of info about lift heights and tire heights and backspacing and gears and... and... and...
Go out to any of the tire sites, bring up the tire you are looking for, and click on the specs. It will list every size of that particular tire, both standard and metric, and will have the height and width in inches for every single size.
No, you do not 'need' a front adj trackbar. But you may want one. And no, you do not 'need' caster correction, but consider it. (look at "what is caster, how much do I need" in the faq's...)
Gearing is a preference. Again, it is not 'needed', but highly desireable if you can afford it. Drive with the 35's and decide for yourself. (again, the faq's have info on gearing, and an rpm chart for you to plug numbers into)
Look at the info listed by Teraflex for that lift! It will tell you what backspacing you want. (or... look in the faq's...) If you want to use stock wheels, you will want to either add wheel spacers or use the stock rear links instead of the ones in the kit.
