I thought someone mentioned that, just making sure. I see you have teraflex link in your signature, I was considering throwing in a budget boost while I was doing all this, do you happen to know if I need the kit with adapters. Thanks a lot!

This kit comes with everything you need

If your running stock shocks, you will need the kit w/adapters

Thanks for the help. Seems I went from just doing 33's on my jeep, to doing a whole lot more. I'm going the cheaper route with this than my 750+ horsepower Audi s4 at least. Lol

Suurre you are. There's a hemi, 6" longarm, a pair of 60's and a set of 40 inch tires calling your name. Just wait and see how much of a money pit that JK turns into...

I know it has the capability of being out of hand, but it's my daily driver and I live in NYC, so I only end up going off road a few times a year. Dont think I didnt eye that hemi swap kit, that would be so badass.

Does anyone know when purchasing the gear and install set, should I put model X or should I put Sahara because I have the 24S package? Or does it not even matter? Thanks

Your JK looks awful familiar joshzilla, I have probably seen it driving around lakewood before. Nice list of mods on that unlimited of yours

If theyre made in the same factory, that's good enough for me... So Ive ordered the superchips flashpaq, RR mirror relocators, some lights with smittybilt windshield mounts already..
I am probably going to order all my parts from northridge over the phone like you to make sure Im getting everything right. That will be the 5.13 gears front and back with overhaul kits, 2.5" teraflex budget boost w/adapters, and maybe teraflex sway bar diconnects.

Am I missing any "must haves" here? Nobody answered me earlier, is there a certain gear oil that JK users prefer using?

I really appreciate the help everyone! I know I came on hard with the newbie questions, but I'm not Jeep educated yet.

I just did a little research and ended up choosing Amsoil 75w90 severe gear lubricant. I've always has great results from amsoil products.

With the JKS disconnects and the teraflex 2.5" BB, should I get the 0-2" disconnects or the 2.5-6" set? Thanks
