When to add control arms?
I have an 07 2door Rubi , thinking about going with 3.5" springs , I know I have to extend my brake lines. I have a 2.5" teraflex coil lift right now with 9550 teraflex shocks , I am going to put my JE Reel rear driveshaft on but my question is, will I need to run front and rear upper and lower adjustable controls arms to do this? Or will I get away using the stock control arms ?

It's a preference. You already know how much your handling suffered going with 2.5" coils on stock arms. If you can put up with even worse handling, well, you're much more tolerant than I am...

You'll probably need at least lowers. You don't have to get adjustable, you can get aftermarket ones that are meant for a 3-4" lift.
I have stock uppers and Skyjacker fixed length lowers with a 4" lift and my angles etc are good.
