Default How To Get The Most Flex???

Im about to buy the 2.5in Tera Flex spring lift w/ bilten 5100 to match. I dont want to get any taller of a lift but I would like to maximize the flex I can get out of the 2.5in's.

so the question is, how to get more flex?

Should I get different sway bar links? Bump-stops? Adjustable control arms? Etc?
Any suggestions would be helpful.

If your lifting 2.5in I hope your going to 35's otherwise there is no real reason to lift for 33's. Why not just cut your stock fenders flat and put 33's on there and see how that works out for you and upgrade as needed? As far as maximizing flex goes i'm not certain I understand the question. Are you trying to get more down travel out of the 2.5in kit?

More down travel is the goal. If that's even possible.

Absolutely, nothing sucks more than trying to disconnect with wrenches under your jeep while everyone else pulls 4 pins and is waiting for you. JKS quicker disconnects the best $150 you will ever spend on your jeep.
