Default Need help with which parts to get to finish out lift

Hey guys.

Spring is here so I'm ready to swap out my spacer lift. I have the springs (2.5" TF) and shocks from a Rubicon with adapters/extensions. Oh I have an unlimited X. Anyway I emailed Dave at northridge and he said I should be good to go with just some sway bar and brake line extensions. I'm just not sure what parts to get and if I need front and rear for both or what I think I can move the rear links to the front, so then I would just need rear link extensions? I see adjustable ones on the site but I wasn't sure if they are as good as solid links. I have never disconnected yet and most of what I do is Michigan two-tracks and sand dunes.

Right now I have the full traction spacer lift on...the one that I and others reported issues with the rear spacer lip failing and folding over. Also with that I have all the bump stops in place. No other relocation brackets for anything.

Thanks for any advice!

I would agree with David, plus you may need adjustable track bars. Until the lift is on, its hard to tell.

good luck.

Thanks Weeds. I wasn't really questioning David's suggestions just what parts exactly to get. Front vs rear, front and rear, etc. I did get the spacer lift installed myself but I'm pretty new to this stuff.

The teraflex 2.5" coil lift comes with the springs, drop brackets for the brake lines, bump stops, and rear trackbar relocation bracket and longer control arms for the rear. If you only have the springs and shock extensions without the other parts you will need to add the other parts or work around them. Your best bet is to search in the write up section the thread about notes on installing the TF 2.5" coil lift. It is a wealth of information about the springs and extenders you are attempting to install and how they work with the rest of the kit.

sorry I meant longer rear sway bar links not rear control arms.
