FNG With 35's on 15s + Trimming Fenders + 2.5 coil.. What else?
I've been creeping around here for a while reading things here and there, but I just joined the forum recently.
I have a '14 JKU that I bought last October, and I used to jeep around as a teenager running a cj into the ground.. Anyways, I just bought 35KM2s and some 15 soft 8's. Im trimming my fenders to get by until my lift gets here next week.. And because I want some DIY flat fenders. I ordered the TF 2.5 Coil lift, and i'll use the shock extensions that come with it (Unless someone can talk me into buying some Bilsteins or the like).. I haven't bought a track-bar to go with it yet, but its probably going to happen.
What else would I -need- for 35's and a 2.5 coil? From what I've read, that will be G2G, but have I missed anything?
Good to be here ya dirtbags!

Just installed the TF 2.5in coil lift with Bilstein shocks and Synergy arms to correct caster. The TF kit I got has the extended bumpstops but no shock extenders. The Bilsteins are longer so no need for extenders anyway.
Long story short. I used to run 35s with stock fenders before the kit and never had problems in dirt roads or light trails. Since the kit gave my Jeep around 3in lift I only see a need to trim the fenders if you go rock crawling. I'm modding my Jeep for overlanding.
By the way... watch the TF YouTube install video a couple times before installing. The printed instructions that come with the kit sucks.

Thanks for the advice Maverick! I actually watched that video to decide if I wanted to buy the kit or not. Im surprised to hear you ran 35s with stock fenders. I dont do any rock crawling, just some overlanding and typical montana snow crawling. Maybe I wont even trim the fenders.
