So i am wanting to lift my jeep. I have bought used teraflex 3.5 coils for front and rear. And i have also bought teraflex 9550 shocks. Can i run just the coils and shocks? If not what is mandatory to have to run that set up? I'm new to lifting vehicles, on a budget and in need of some advice. I just don't want to put them on and then have problems. That being said i'm willing to wait a bit to lift it but, i'm anxious. All help is appreciated. cheers.
These threads scare me. I have a TF 2.5 coil on its way but didn't get any other parts. Guess I'll drive it with the basics and add as I feel the issues. Looks like a few hundred more before I'm up to par.

Except for the front control arms. If you use the caster adjustment bolts that come with the kit, you probably won't be happy with the performance. And you will be screwed trying to go back to control arms.

What caster adjustment bolts are you talking about? Is this part of the Northridge grade 8 bolt kit? With a 2.5" teraflex kit you really shouldn't need control arms either. I have a 2.5" teraflex with 1" coil spacers front and rear. All stock control arms, no flighty steering. No problems whatsoever.
