Default Finally lifting the JKU. Quick Question

So I called the great people at Northridge today. Got set up with 2.5" Mod Stock system with Bilstein 5100, Teraflex bump stocks, and the grade 8 bolt kit. I'm going to order my extended brake lines first thing in the morning.

Soooo my questions is, Do I need anything else to do this lift? Any suggestions of anything that might compliment this kit?

Is it the RK stock mod lift? A good addition would be the lower control arms. Or even just the front lowers depending on your budget.

Drive it a bit fist. If you're happy with the way it drives, add something else. Front bumper?

It is the stock mod lift. The plan was to add the control arms as I go or as needed. I'll deff. drive it to see how it does. The bumpers will come after a while, I'm thinking JCR front and rears and then some rock rails

If you're going to wheel it, you will need the rails first. Skids and diff covers are also a good investment.

Rails immediately.

Skids soon.

Diff cover, when you can afford it.
