2.5-3" i'd recommend getting lower control arms and a trackbar so it can be aligned properly. i did not do this and did have to replace my ball joints at 35k miles, and it drove horrible on the freeway due to 1 degree caster.

4" + i really have no experience with but i'm guessing you will eventually need parts such as drive shafts and all 8 control arms. drive shafts not right away but eventually.

I changed suspension parts, greased, lubed, changed fluids, springs, tierods, trackbars and more. I learned it all from this forum. Don't be worried about getting something that would seem intimidating, we are all here to help.

It does become a never ending money pit when you lift it. You will then want bumpers, winch, lights, and more lift. It really never ends. BTW Do it yourself. You will then have an idea of how to look for problems down the road.

TF 2.5 coil lift is very popular. it does not come with a front adjustable trackbar or any control arms. if you want it to ride better on the highway buy adjustable front lower control arms. with a front trackbar and front lower control arms you will be able to properly align your front end which will eliminate most problems.
