Post lift install: Advice
Ok so I spent my holiday weekend putting a 2.5 inch BB lift on the Jeep and I replaced the coils and shocks (13/53) with some Rubi takeoffs (17/59). All said and done it nows sits 4 1/2 inches higher in front and 4 inches higher in back, nice and level.
After installing the lift I have read people recommend loosening the suspension and then re-tightening with it on the ground. What items should be loosened and tightened to get it to properly set and remove any binding?
Pics coming soon ...

All of your control arm and tracbar bolts should be loosened and retorqued.
Loosen them all then rock the jeep some let it settle then torque everything to spec. Google jk torque specs and there is a writeup on project jk

With that lift height, you could just wait and do it when you put the new adj trackbars and adj control arms on. And the longer links. And the extended brakelines. And the flip. And the new driveshaft(s).
