Default pinion angle??? after 2.5" BB

hello everyone, i am now a proud owner and first timer to jeeps,my question is i would like to lift my jeep doing the 2.5" budget boost from RC and i was wondering if theres more to it than jus installing kit,i previsously came from lowered s10's,and aftter installing lowering components then your would have to worry about pinion angles,alignment,etc, and i was wondering what would i need to look forward and be aware of when lifting,im new to this and much help would be appreciated thank you.

ps i still love my lowered truck,but always had a thing for jeeps and im damn proud to finally own one lol

Well kind sir, welcome to the new addiction! And get ready to JEEP!

now as far as your question goes, you really don't have to worry about anything adjustable, you don't have adjustable arms or anything to worry about, (and in my advice instead of getting the extensions for shocks, just buy shocks.. The ride is a million times better) as far as everything else, make sure you tighten everything to spec and you'll be just fine! The only THINGS you would have to consider would be out of spec (as far as the BB is concerned) is your steering wheel not being straight, and it's only two bolts up front to re center it takes five minutes, and there is a write up on how to adjust it on the forums(search is KEY on these forums) also the toe in/out. Which keeps have very little of.. But if your ride feels a little funny wouldn't hurt to get it checked out from the dealer! I'm sure others will have more input!! Congrats on joining the keep craze and don't forget the jeep wave!!!

And one last valuable bit of advice check out the free/low cost mods section- when low on cash and get the itch to mod ASAP! This little section will blow your mind!
