Question Upgrading BB - What do I need?

hey All

Currently running the RC 2.5" BB with their 2.2 shocks on my Unlimited with 35"s - but as expected with this addiction, I want MORE. Also I'll be upgrading to some proper armor soon and I'm sure my stock coils will sag like grandmas tatas.

What do I need to swap my BB to a 3-4" lift? How high are the 2.2's good for? Is it just a simple matter of swapping the spacers and stock coils for a set of RC/TF/OME coils? Oh, and I'm guessing I'll need to lengthen my brake line brackets (again).

What else? Steering bracket?

Thanks!

I started with the TF 2.5BB... Found adding bunmper and winch, my front sagged badly.. Called TF he sold me the 2.5coil springs all around. That not only took care of the sagging but gave me a nice ride...

I went with the kit from one coompany because I figure they worked on a complete kits thats works together properly instead of a mix and match approach..

Good point about sticking with the manufacturer of the shocks.. I'm just a tad hesitant to stick with RC due to some of the issues some members have had with their coils once armor is put in the mix.

Thanks guys!
