Default Teraflex BB to Full Lift Coversion - Help

Jeepers,

I currently have a 2DR JK with a Terflex BB. I wanted to convert it to a Teraflex 3" coil lift and am trying to do it as cheaply as possible by reusing what I can out of the BB.

From my limited knowledge, it looks like I would need to buy:
The coils
Rear Trackbar Location Bracket
Front Adjustable Trackbar (?)

I think I would be able to reuse:
Brake Line relocation brackets
Factory Coil Retainers/Spacers
The Teraflex QDs I already have

Process wise it looks like I would need to follow the regular Teraflex lift installation with the exception of having to pull out the BB "pucks" before installing the coils. What else am I missing?

Thanks for the input!
GRNJP

All you need are the springs and adj. track bars.
Me personally I would stay away from any track bar bracket

This is exactly what I did. I had the TF BB. I bought Rusty's 3 1/4" spings (very inexpensive).
I pulled out the pucks and intalled the springs. Everything else is reused.
Then just add adj trackbars and you're set

Consider a set of upper control arms. You dont need them but it will help you set up the proper driveshaft angles. If you don't have it yet TF sells a frame side trackbar bracket that is only $26. It will work with your bb and a 3 inch kit. They also have a rear axle side bracket that is $80 and is reinforced with a u-bolt that goes around the axle. I almost purchased that bracket for my lift but decided to spend a little extra for the Superlift bar. I personally would get the cheap frame bracket and take the money saved and get a set of upper control arms.
