2.5 rubi lift
Hay guys I just installed a 2.5 rubicon express spring/shock lift on my 12 jku. other than a alinement is there any thing I need to do? steering wheels good. And every thing I read talks about 3" and up for caster and drive lines. Just needing to know if I'm good or there's any unknown problems I should check on.

The only resin I was thinking alinement was the kit comes with shims to adjust the casters and the web site says get it to but it says that on all the lifts CYA stuff I'm thinking

Caster is the forward/rearward tilt of the axle. Any lift will effect caster. Low caster will cause a light steering feel and wandering on the highway.
I would stay clear of caster bolts. Install the lift and drive it. If you don't like the steering, opt for a set of adjustable lower control arms or AEv Drop brackets.
Stock you can only adjust toe on a JK.

Steering fills fine so I'm guessing I'm good to go then other than dropping the drakes FYI rubicon express does not send them but they do make them
