Default Post 2.5" BB requirements???

Ok, just installed a rough country 2.5" BB and 35's on my 2012 JKU auto.

The kit did not contain trackbar brackets or any kind of control arms.

The ride is great.... Just like stock.

What is REQUIRED so I do not cause any long term damage to the vehicles driveline?

It is my DD and I wheel 1-2 times a month on mild trails occaisonal hill climbs.. Mostly flat terrain with the occasional water crossing. No rocks here in middle GA.

I too am interested in this. The more I read to more I'm leaning to a budget boost and 33's. Just want to know that with a 2.5" kit I don't 'need' anything else for it to work, and the RC kit is the one I'm looking at as well.

Nothing is REQUIRED. Any added components would be a personal preference/opinion.


Read post 6 in this one for some thoughts.

Alignment was perfect after the lift.. Only a slight bit of "flightiness".

However now I have post lift paranoia.
Every little vibration I feel... I start panicking for a second that my jeep is falling apart! Lmao.
I've got to get used to these D load range tires as I feel more bumps in the road now.
