Default 2.5" lift.....now what?

Hey Fellow JKer's,

I'm new to the forum and have spent hours reading. I'm also a new owner to an 07' Jeep Rubicon Unlimited. I have ordered a 2.5" Pro Comp CRT lift but after tons of reading, I'm unsure what else I will need. I don't think it comes with bump stops, do I need them? Also, I've read that I may need an adjustable front track bar?? And not completely sure if I should buy 35's or 33's. Will 35's rub without an additional body lift? What if I just use a more shallow offset on my wheels? Is 4.5 really the most I should go on the wheel offset?

I know Pro Comp doesn't seem to be as popular as some other brands on the forum but I have many friends who have run Pro Comp for years and so I decided to give it a try.

Sorry for this thread, being that there are a 100 threads similar to this but I've read so many conflicting stories........

Any words of wisdom is greatly appreciated!

Ask Joe of TeraFlex (forum vendor) - he can recommend the remaining parts from their 2.5" kit that you may not have gotten in the Pro Comp kit. (rear sway bar links, front/rear extended bump stops, brake line extensions, rear trackbar relocation bracket) With that size kit you'll probably get both yes/no answers as to whether you'll need an adjustable front track bar. The front axle shift is minimal so you could go either way.
