TF 2.5 BB is a great kit! You will need longer sway bar links for the front, rear brake line relocate bracket and shock extensions... The kit itself should come with the brake line bracket and I believe you can get it with the extensions as well. If not, they are $80 for front/rear on the northridge site....

If you got the stock X shock (not rubicon), yes they definitely sucks, getting new shock for TF 2.5''BB will be a big improvement over stock.

Also OME and Bilstein shocks are both very popular and appreciated

For a budget boost they are all pretty close to the same. Just buy the pucks you need, get some longer front sway bar links for th back, move the back ones up front, and then buy bilsteins or OME shocks. Other possible needs may include lower front control arms and front and rear track bars, but may not need them.
