Default Help needed with 2" lift components

A few weeks ago my Jeep was equipped with 2" Ironman springs and shock absorbers. For some reasons they decided not to change the other elements... In my opinion at least the sway bar links should be replaced also. Anything else? Just want to replace all required parts and forget about it for the next few years)

I would at least add extended links on the front end. Teraflex makes a nice set of greasable ones. You might want disconnects on them. I don't know which ones of those are the best. Good luck ! Hope you find what you need!

x2 also might want to put some bump stops front and rear and extend brake lines or do brake line relocation brackets. I have a 2" lift and at max flex the rear brake lines were maxed out and at the point of being over stretched. I used a teraflex relocator bracket and gave me enough slack to keep stock brake lines.

Thank you very much for your help! It's hard to get any information at our local forums unfortunately...

I guess I'll start with stab links for front and rear. Any suggestions regarding maker? The quality is at the first place of course) The vehicle is already equipped with electronc stab and it's still alive)

Do the sway bar link swap (rear to front, new fronts). As for track bars??? I did a 3.5" lift and installed adj. track bars, which I only needed +.375" longer front and rear. For a 2", prob not necessary. Control arms, not needed either. Once you hit 3", then look to install more to correct geometry.

I don't know what is the best but I have had both JKS and Tera Flex and JKS are much heavier duty.
