Advice needed
I have a 13 JKU with about 30K miles on. I am installing a 2.5" teraflex BB as well as new 315 70 17 cooper discovery AT3's with aftermarket wheels this weekend. I have already purchased the lift, wheels, tires, and a flashcal to reprogram. Does anyone have any advice on additional things I MUST do/buy after/or for the install, as well as any things that I SHOULD do or RECOMMENDED (but not necessarily needed) I'm installing with a friend who is currently building his own jeep but there can never be enough advice or knowledge. Thanks everyone.

Have you researched the various forms of caster correction? Some people want it at that height, others are ok with low caster. The new rims have low enough backspace? Assuming you install no adjustable components, you might go through the DIY Alignment writeup (up in the writeups area) rather than paying for one.

Stuck to the top of the writeups area is a great deathwobble diagnosis. Generally it is worn components, or not tightening/torquing components. Nothing to do with the lift itself.

Would also help to know how and how often you wheel. Rocks, ruts & mud, forest roads? Is this your DD? If you're doing caual wheeeling you're probably OK, but the terrain challenge and type might help folks suggest other things to consider. Are you running any recovery gear? Carrying a spare on the stock carrier? Lots to consider.

It is my DD. Right now I'm just casually wheeling nothing extreme...until the budget allows for it. I was planning on using the stock tire carrier for now. Is that going to be a problem with the size tire?
