F I have a daystar 1 3/4 in lift w/ shocks do need new shocks to go up to a 2 1/2 in spacers ???

 

Technically with a 2.5" lift you should have:
Longer front anti-sway bar links
Factory front links moved to rear
Front bumpstop extensions
Rear lower bumpstop pads
Brake line extensions
Spring retention spacers
Rear track bar bracket
New longer shocks, or shock extensions

With 2.5" you can clear 35's but spacers or 4.5" backspace wheels are suggested.

Great 2.5" lift is the Teraflex budget boost or Rock Krawler 2.5 systems.

 

I thought you moved the rear links to the front and put new rears in?

 

Yep. You are right. Long day.
