Default Lift ? Am i missing anything?

So, just placed a few orders with Northridge, and I think I got everything I need coming:
JKS sector shaft brace kit
Teraflex HD adjustable front track bar
TF front lower control arms
TF rear upper control arms
TF 2.5" 4 dr coil lift for a 2dr
Bilstein shocks
Evo gussets and ca skids
Axle sleeves
4.88 gears, front and rear
Am I missing anything? I'll order the pro steer ball joints when my bank account cools off a bit lol. My original intent was to go from stock to 37's, but holy crap what a lofty goal that was. Going with 35's for now, and I already have the BFG AT's on 16's ready for it. This should give me time to save up for a pro-trac, flat fenders, a small body lift, the other ca's, and locker's. Have to say thanks to David at Northridge for helping me out.

Why 4dr lift instead of 2dr?

The 4dr coils will give you more lift, and compensate for the sag when you start adding bumpers and stuff.

4+ inches of lift on a 2door. Start saving for driveshafts also.

Not sure where you're getting 4"+ from. Even the 4dr kit on a 2dr won't lift the rear that much. Maybe, and I mean maybe, it will lift the front that much, but the rear should be about an inch less. Not too worried about the front since I have a 6spd.

TF 2.5" 2door coils on a 2door = 3.25"
TF 2.5" 4door coils on a 2door = 4.25"

Plenty of posts by Teraflex confirming that...

2.5" dr on 2dr = 3.1", install the 4dr 2.5" coils on a 2dr and you can get 1/2"-3/4" more.

I got about 4" after install. It surprised me a bit, but it sure does look nice. Drives awesome, better than stock.
