Default advice?

Just bout a 2011 jku came with a inch Rancho basic lift and I want to add to it make it more complete. What do I start with? Control arms? If so start with lowers? What should come first and benefit of it?

If you have correct bump stops, sway bar links and brake line extensions...then front / rear adjustable track bars is a good start...limit straps maybe too...front LCAs are often the first control arms swapped

What will the adjustable track bars do for me? I think I have the correct bump stops and brake lines

What components came with your lift? What handling or performance characteristic are you wanting to fix?

I guess the easiest way for you to decide would be to compare your basic kit to one of the more complete kits that they offer, and go from there.

For an inch you should not need anything else.

I have a quick question. Sorry if this is out of place. I'm trying to get used to this android app. I bought a 2007 jku shortly before deploying. (Im in the army)
It currently has 33s on stock rims. I'm trying to determine if this thing has already been lifted, and if so how much. Any ideas?

Looks like it is lifted, a photo of the actual suspension may be of more help. Can you see any numbers on the coils or is there a large plastic spacer on top of the coils?

I would guess a rough county 4" lift and no wheel spacers.
