Lots of NOOB questions
This is a work vehicle and it sees moderate off-roading on pipeline right-of-ways.
2014 JKU non-rubi - 105000 miles
35" Nitto with 1.5" off-sets
4" ICON springs with retainers and correction wedges in rear
3/4" front spacer
Bilstein 5160 3" - 4.5" shocks Extended: 24.67" Collapsed: 14.87"
Rock Krawler Track Bars front/back
AEV Geometry correction brackets on front control arms
Teraflex end links front/back
Extended brake lines front/back
Exhaust spacers
Parts in question to get:
Extended drive shafts
Front/Rear adjustable control arms
Bump stops (Currently have none)
Am I missing anything else that I would need?
Still trying to figure out what bump stops to get, all the threads here have conflicting answers.
Do I need front adjustable control arms as, the brackets do correct properly?

Lifted short arm vehicles don't need extended driveshafts they actually shrink. Unless you are having issues with the driveshafts just leave the factory ones.
Is this a list of stuff that is already on the jeep? If not just get the metal cloak fox edition game changer and be done. It will have everything you need. https://www.martinlogan.com/products/montage For 35" tires 2.5" of lift is more then enough for clearance.
Bump stops depend on your set up and actual tire size, there is no go to answer until you cycle the suspension. At 4" of lift you are likely going to need bumps to protect the shocks not for tire clearance. You dont need adjustable control arms unless you want to be able to really dial in the suspension.

Doing some reading on one of your threads and it advised a extended front driveshaft for a 4" lift. So, I dont need them? The parts listed are installed already

In addition to the caster/pinion, adjustable arms will let you repostition the entire axle forward/backward in the wheel well. Probably not an issue if you are staying with 35's? But nice to have the ability to move them if desired.
I didn't see a draglink flip / high-steer mentioned, you might do a little research. 3.5" or so is when people start thinking about it.
