A few lift questions
First a little background: Looking at installing a 2.5" lift on my 2011 unlimited sport soon. I'm planning on the 2.5" Teraflex coil lift with shock adapters. My JK has about 6k miles and I would replace the adapters with longer shocks when the stockers wear out. I plan on running 35" tires and I already have 4.5 backspaced wheels. As long as my jeep is my DD and only vehicle 2.5" of lift and 35" tires is going to be as big as I go.
My questions are:
Is this Teraflex kit a good long term lift? I'm going to have this Jeep as a DD and trail rig for many years hopefully, and I want to do the lift right. Any issues with the springs sagging?
Is there anything else I need that doesn't come with the kit? I hear an adj. front trackbar, and maybe control arms. Are these necessary?
How does the on road feel compare with stock? I like my stock ride, I know it will likely be stiffer, and that's fine, but I don't want to be beaten to death.
Thanks for the help!

I went with the kit you are looking at and also purchased the adjustable track bar. You might want to trim your fenders a little because they will rub, when off roading. I am thinking a 1" body lift, not really feeling the trim fender look.
