What Do I Need To Buy
Im sure this has been ask before but what do I need to buy going and 2.5" TF coil lift to a 3.5" lift.
I have adj track bars. and JKS quick discos
For ex. Drive shaft, Brake lines,
- would I need all four sets of adj control arms?
BTW im not sure if im going to replace the coils or just add spacers.

The shortest JKS quick discos should be long enough or his lift. If he has the TF 9550 shocks that came with the 2.5" lift then they should be fine for the 3.5" as well (TF includes them in their larger lifts at least).
Other than that yeah the only things I can think of to are the rear links and some adjustable control arms. I might add rear uppers to but I'm not real sure if they are needed.

yes, this sounds right but you probably won't need new longer shocks.

DOnt mean to hijack, but I have two related questions.
Details in sig, but should I consider rear UCA's? I ask because at 45mph and 61 mph, I get a loud high pitch vibration sound coming from the rear. I thought it was gears at first, but they dont make noise any other speed. Could it be that my driveshaft (stock) is at too much of an angle with my 3.5" of lift? It only makes noise when I press the gas pedal, not while coasting.
Also, I just bought longer rear swaybar links, but havent got them in from 4WheelParts yet. Will the longer links get rid of the "rear-steer" feeling I have? I cant think of what else to call it. It just feels like the back end is swinging all over the place when I go over minor bumps. I assume its from the swaybar being bound down too tight by the short stock links, but just curious...
