Default Front adjustable lower control arms and Front adjustable track bar.

Just wondering what you guys would recommend using on a 2.5 lift? I'm not doing any rock crawling just looking for a dependable, trouble free upgrade.

I would reccomend doing both of them. the adjustable trackbar will center your axle, but it probably wont be too off with 2.5 lift. The front adj lowers will dial in your caster, after you lift the jeep youll notice it might be a little flighty on the highway. the lowers help get you back to stock. see how it is after you lift it, maybe youll find you dont need them. good luck.

We did the 2.5 Teraflex coil lift and ran it for 1 month with a stock trackbar and stock control arms......we wanted to see and feel the difference.
It sucked big time for us big time, floating, drifting left to right on any highway.....not a fun drive.
We did buy and install at 1 month the Teraflex track bar and lower control arms.....NIGHT and DAY difference.

I have been looking at the teraflex track bar and the LCA's. I've had the lift installed for about a month and it is a little flighty at highway speeds and that is what I am looking to correct . I refuse to use cam bolts to correct the caster.

ahh, been up all night..didnt even think you put the lift on yet for some reason lol. I love my teraflex lowers, plenty of adjustability and they have taken some big hits. the TF adj trackbar is the beefiest available for sure, I might upgrade to it from my JKS.

I've also been looking at the rough country LCA's and track bar. Any reviews on them would be a big help. I don't have a ton of cash left after wheels tires and lift.

Jspec makes some really nice fixed lowers that work great for a 2.5 kit and are very affordable. 210 shipped I believe. Also JKS front trackbars!

Don't go cheap on suspension parts. I'm running TF arms and the ride is great. I also have the JKS adjustable trackbar and haven't had any issues with it.

I am running a TF 2.5 lift and just got a set of rock krawler LCAs. Huge difference! I wish I would have gotten them from the start.
