Whats needed for 2.5 Lift
I have been looking at the FAQ for what you need for a 3 inch lift, should i look to do the same things with a 2.5 inch lift??
from the FAQ:
(Side note, looking at the rough country lift)
from the FAQ:
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?
A: At bare minimum, you should have a set of 3" coils, bump stop extensions, longer shocks, rear brake line extension brackets, new longer rear sway bar links (factory links can be installed up front), adjustable front track bar and rear track bar relocation bracket. Optimally, I would recommend adjustable front upper and lower control arms as well as they will help you set your caster to the appropriate angle it needs to be. Also, if you have a 2-door, adjustable rear upper control arms and a new double cardin U-joint style drive shaft would be highly advisable.

The kit i was looking at has:
Front: 2.5" lifted coil springs.
Rear: 2.5" lifted coil springs.
Shocks: (4) High Performance 2.2 series shocks
so its pretty barebones and figured the basic stuff i would add on, but would it ever need upper and/or lower control arms or a new drive shaft down the road
