i did a skyjacker 3.5" basic coil lift and i didn't have to change anything aside from what the lift kit had in it. i don't know if the same will be true for the teraflex since actual lift varies per manufacturer, but if it really is 2" you don't have to do a whole lot to the jeep

You don't move or lower the tcase on a jk. It's set up different from a tj.
