Minimum required to safely run teraflex 4 inch coils on a 2 door?
Here is my list: What else do I need to safely run a 4 inch teraflex coils or equivalent on a 2 door: some of this stuff I already have installed, some I need to get. Want to get the RC coil and spacer combo off my jeep.
4 coils (need to get)
Longer sway bar links front and rear (need to get)
front and rear adjustable track bars (have)
Longer shocks front and rear (need to get)
brakeline extension brackets front and rear (have)
Tom Woods rear DS (have)
*I shouldnt need front DS because I have manual tranny right?
rear upper adj control arms (have)
front and rear bump stop extension (need to get rear, have front)
Front lower adj control arms (need to get)
What am I missing to safely lift my jeep this amount?
It doesnt have to drive like a caddy but I want it to be safe. if you have suggestions please indicate wheter it is necessary right away or I can get away without it for a while
Thanks!!!!

Pinch seam in rear has been trimmed so I prob could wait on other 2 sets of arms unless there is another reason to get them. I plan on drag link flip in fture but not right away if I can avoid. I was hoping to get away with break line extensions at least for a bit, would I need both front and rear new lines?
Does the front DS not last at this height even if I have standard transmission?
I was actually thinking of going with BDS 5.5 coils but I think they give the same amount of lift as teraflex so I through them out there since more people are familiar with them.

Rear wedges or new perches?

Forgot to mention, I have rear coil correction wedges too. Im thinking I should go with something that nets me 4.5 inchs up front instead of over 5. My RC coils have sagged to the point that even with my spacers, I only have about 3.25 up front and 1.5 to 2 in the rear. I def want to go higher but dont want to break the bank either.

37s in the future for sure but not for a bit. I want the belly clearance, sick of dragging my belly on the rocks. approach and departure angles would be better in the rocks as well. Do not want to change fenders, I like the stock fenders uncut.
I may have to get something a bit smaller though if there is chance my DS will die, want that to last a bit longer.
Not sure about the brakes either, main reason I dont want to mess with that is I dont trust myself to do brakes and would have to pay someone to install. Everything else I can do myself.

I think I am going with clayton 3.5 coils for now. I can always add coil spacers when I move to 37s and this us a little lower so I think I will have less problems.

Pulled the trigger on 3.5 inch Clayton coils, teraflex rear bump stop extensions, new extended brake lines in front, rear tereaflex brake extension bracket in rear, northridege adj rear sway bars links, teraflex coil retainer washers, and a set of terafelx shocks. Hope I made right decision. Wish I spend the money and got a decent lift right away.
