Default Teraflex 2.5" coil lift

I was told I need to put exhaust extensions in for this lift also spacers for stock wheels. Is there anything else that is NEEDED? I was told possibly extra length breather tube for the rear axle but what about the front? Any special hints that I'm missing?? just want to do this right one time.

i believe only the 2012+ models need the exhaust extenders. you will need spacer or new rims if you want to run bigger tires, as the back spacing on the stock rims will not allow wider tires to fit without rubbing.

Just FYI, if you search YouTube for Teraflex long arm install, they've broken the video into 3-4 shorter ones, and he shows the reason the '12's need the exhaust spacers. I know you're not doing the LA kit, but the need for the spacers will be the same.

Thanks
I also got a reply from Teraflex,

Unless I will be in mud or water breather tubes are not necessary. Think I'm going to do it anyway just in case. I don't want one popping off during flex

You are gonna need a front driveshaft in a 2012 due to the motor orientation versus the older models. 2012 driveshaft angle is nearly maxed when OEM.
