2007 JK. 2 Dr manual 6 speed. 1.5" wheel spacers, stock 17" wheels w/ GY Wrangler Duratracs 33". Stock bumpers w no winch.

Usage - Not my daily driver. Beach cruising and some sand and mud. Nothing too crazy though.

Question - I want to add 1" Daystar coil spacers on top of my TF 2.5" coil lift. I have JKS front & rear adjustable track bars including the rear jks reinforcement bracket. Do I need a new driveshaft?
If so, front and/or rear?
LCAs? If so, front and/or rear?
What about brake lines? Extensions?
Anything else I am missing or not thinking of?
Can I just put on what I have or should I save up and add anything else as funds allow.

Thanks for your help and expertise guys and gals!

 

I have a TF 2.5 suspension lift, added the the TF spacers 2" in front and 1" in back, then added a 1" body lift. I did relocate the brake lines. I don't rock climb so I never truly flex 100%, a lot of mud and trail rides. No issues at all.

I also have the front adjustable track bar, rear track bar relocater and front lower adjustable control arms

As you lift higher, the caster goes lower, causing flightier steering. If you can deal with it, fine. If you can't, add some form of caster correction. (front lower arms are probably the best choice, but also the most expensive).

With a 2door, both driveshafts will be running at steeper angles. There is no specific height where you will or will not have a problem. Make a habit of crawling underneath and checking the joints on both!! If/when you notice torn boots and grease spitting out, start shopping. (when you replace a shaft, you will probably also want a set of adj ca's to go with it. Upper or lower is your choice, they do the exact same thing, just backwards from each other. If you get to the point where you want to move an axle forward/backward in the wheel well, you will need both upper and lower)

Flex it and check the brake lines. If they are tight enough to rip a bracket off the frame, you will have your answer about extensions or new lines.

You want the swaybars to be roughly parallel with the frame. Longer links are fairly cheap, do it.

You will be getting into the range where steering angle correction / roll center correction may come into play. Do some research on drag link flips/high steers/raised trackbar brackets. (drop pitman/tb bracket is the more affordable route, but check the others first). Make sure the trackbar and drag link remain roughly parallel to each other.

 

Any reason you're wanting 3" of lift for 33's? Planning on going bigger? Just curious

 

Thanks for all the help!! Sounds like I can pull the trigger on what I have since it is a weekend warrior. I will keep an eye on the joints and start saving for LCA's and driveshafts just to be better prepared.

Bean Bry - Nice Jeep man!!

nthinuf - Thanks for the detailed description - still trying to learn all this!!

kh202 - Just to go a little higher. 35's are in the distant future if the boss approves, but have to get her 5'3" Italian self used to the little extra height!

 

I went with aev brackets for the front. with a 2 door you will need front and rear ds though.I have a jku with a teraflex 2.5 coil lift with a 1" spacer all around with the aev brackets. I have a wench and bumper up front though. good luck
