Default Thoughts on setup

After some thought and some great advice from this forum im close to pulling the trigger on the following for my manual 2 door sport that will be used for mostly highway and beach driving. This is what im starting off with

teraflex 2.5 BB
33 duratracs
blackrock wheels

I was told I dont need to regear with the 2011 sports just the TJs but im not so sure about that. Is there any other mods I need to make for a better ride and less problems?

If you have the money you might consider getting the coil lift. Are you upgrading shocks?

i would either get shock extensions, or new shocks. it will greatly improve ride. the stock shocks on the sport are inferior to rubi shocks. even with rubi shocks u would need extensions, or new shocks.
and as jay said if u can get a spring lift it will be better...

its all a question of how fat your wallet is and how small u want it to get.

This is my exact setup right now with the exception of the wheels. I went for the spidertrax and bedlined the stock moabs since I liked em. Was actually recomended to get the shock ext's rather new shocks by Dave at Northridge. Haven't regeared but did pick up a Flashpaq which helps. Its not the meanest rig by far, but I still have fun.

couple pics..

As far as the spring lift not sure ill need for the type of terrain ill be on. If i had spare funds ide definately would get the spring lift and some 35s for sure.

How is the ride quality of the rough country lift? I am between this and saving up for the teraflex coil lift.
