Default 2.5" BB and 1" BL

I'm ready to start making some room for the Duratrac 35's. Do you think I need anything else for this lift or am I in pretty good shape? I'm trying to get 3.5" of lift...

2.5" TF BB w/ shock extensions and a 1" Performance BL....

Would I need to upgrade drive shaft/extended steering shaft? Thanks for any advice

You're plenty good with that set-up. Only thing you might consider is doing gussets on your axle if you plan on wheeling hard.

That would work fine but if you want a softer ride I would suggest the coil lift. The spacer lifts ride rough imo

just wondering how yours rode rough it should ride like stock it retains all the factory suspension, springs and shocks if you get the brackets for the shocks. My jeep rides better then some other jk's do in IMO and they have coil lifts granted i have my psi at 30 front and 28 in the rear but thats what i get an even wear at

My jeep rides better with my Tf 2.5" coil lift then it did stock so for me with spacers yes it was a rough ride.

any recommendations of a BL that would work perfectly with the TF BB? Do body lifts run the risk of voiding the warranty?
