Default would like another opinion besides my own

Looking to get a lift in the very near future, leaning towards a 2.5 from rough country or teraflex. But there are tons of options, such as shocks, or adapters, spacers or coils, and I want to buy everything ill need to accommodate the proper functionality of the lift. And was wondering if I could get an idea of what ill need besides just coil springs and new shocks.
Thank yall in advance, this forum is bad ass

how big of a tire you looking to get? I thought I was going to need 2" spacers to comfortably run my 33s but the stock suspension is working great with no rubbing. maybe you just want a spacer kit - and that'd save some $$$

33s is what I'm wanting and I'd like a little better articulation off road I've had only three wheels on the ground on some of the easiest spots to get through and had to back out and try a different line which stock rubicons were passing me by no problem and they didn't even have there axle locked

My guess is that they would have had their front swaybar disconnected.

Here's what comes in the #1251000 TeraFlex 2.5" Coil/shock kit, you'll find it's one of the most complete 2.5" kits out there. More information here, along with a install video. http://www.teraflex.biz/2-5-jk-lift-...ocks-4-dr.html

If you have any questions, please get in contact with me.

After much research (and a sweet deal from Northridge) this is the kit that I went with.

That's the axle-side mounting trackbar relocation bracket. The other "version" used the frame side bracket. Not sure why they switched. I believe that I have heard this one is better. My 2¢

The older kits came with the #1954202


Some current kits come with the #1954766, BB kits do not and neither do the 2.5" kits with shock extensions.
