Sorry all, but here's another in a long line of lift kit questions, I'm sorry.

So I ordered the Teraflex 2.5" lift with the steering stabilizer, so my question is, what else do I have to have, or "Need/want" lol.

I have a 13 JK 4 door manual, currently running 33's on it. I plan on moving up to 35's and I know down the road I will need to re-gear for that. As for the lift, I just need to know what else I need to buy before I install it, then add on as i get money, such as quick disco's, etc. Do I need to get the adjustable track bar while I'm installing the lift, and the exhaust spacers?

Any help would be appreciated!!

 

I would do C gussets and sleeves for the 35s. I would also do a Flashpaq or Procal.......

 

Need? Nothing.
Want? Personal preference.

Install the lift and drive it, then decide what, if anything, to add. If the steering is too flighty, look into some form of caster correction. If the off-center axle bugs you, add a front trackbar. If the 35's make contact somewhere, decide which 'fix' works for you. (can't help with the exhaust spacer, never looked underneath a newer jk...)

And as noted above, do some research on front housing upgrades.

 

I installed the same lift on mine with 35s. The only thing I really thought that was necessary was some form of caster correction. I was getting a little bit of flighty steering, some people will go with geometry correction brackets but I'm one of those 'if you do it, then do it right' kind of guys so I went with adjustable LCAs. As I heard that the brackets drag. As for the track bar, it's not a bad idea but unless I'm actually measuring it I don't see much difference between the two sides in the front.

I also bought a flashpaq and am running the 91 performance tune. Adds a little bit of power back that you will lose. But I know regearing is in the future, just don't have the funds to commit to it yet.

Quick discos is another that I did with it but not necessary. The rear sway bar links will move to the front and work just like the old ones if you choose to disconnect with tools.

As for rubbing the only rubbing I had was the front air dam, which almost everyone ends up taking off or ripping off anyways, so you might as well yank it now. The wheeling i do isn't extreme so I haven't flexed it out fully but the only thing other than the air dam would maybe be flat fenders just to guarantee you don't rip them off at full flex.

If you full droop your front often I would also consider looking into a front driveshaft that replaces the cv joint. As I've heard that you can tear the boot at full droop.

Most of these are more wants over needs, but it's just some info I've seen around here regarding lifting from stock.
