Default Teraflex 2.5 lift question

Have a tf 2.5 lift is it possible to put long arms on a lift this small someone said you might have to go higher and if I do how much high should I go before I have to start messing with the steering components etc.

So your goal is to go high enough to have to add more components? From what I've seen and read, 3" is the starting point for that. That's when you start adding drive shafts, arms, steering, and so on..

Yes you can install a long arm with a 2.5" kit, but that is way over kill. Around a 4" kit is when you need to address the steering components.

Technically, yes. But make sure your shocks are compatible and your sway bar links are long enough then go from there. Also, you're gong to need new bumpstops too.
