Default Just ordered...

My lift for my 08 JKU

Teraflex 2.5in lift

TeraFlex Part ter1351000 - 2.5

Instead of buying the kit with the teraflex shocks I spent a little extra and got bilstein shocks

Bilstein Part bil24-146708 - 5100 Series Shock Absorber

so my question is... am I missing anything? I ordered from 4WD.

That's the kit i have on my 08 jku.its a great lift. If you stay with stock rims you need wheel spacers with wider tires...in the picture i have an extra inch on the left with 34 inch tires.

I have the same lift and I like it. At times when I am driving it feels like it trys to pull you off the road when you run through a dip in the road with either the right or the left tire.

I recommend lower adjustable control arms and an adjustable track bar bracket that centers the axle and corrects the pinion angle.

I ordered Rock Krawler and am waiting for them to come in.

I just hit 50,000 the suspension on the base x was complete crap. I'm glad to hear it handles good I'll probably add arms and a new stabilizer in the next year thanks for the comments.
