I have a 2012 2dr Jeep Rubicon all stock.

I'm going to put 35" (34.4") BFGoodrich KM2s (Tirerack.com) on argent Pintler Bead Locks (Northridge 4x4). I already have a complete set of Rock Hard Skid Plates, Rancho front diff skid, Rancho front control arm skids, AEV Nth Degree rear diff skid, & Riddler Diff covers at my house to put on after the lift is installed (the fun Az trails are really rocky)

I'm going to Moab October 15th so its time to lift it. I have obtained quotes from local Az shops & shops in California (don't mind traveling if the price is right and the install team is talented)

Here is the lift I'm considering (best quote in AZ so far):

3" Teraflex Long Arm Kit
Bilstein 5100 shocks
Front & Rear drivelines (built by local drive line shop)
RSE Bombshell axle truss kit (including C-gussets)
including installation at Cutting Edge 4x4 in Phoenix

What am I forgetting/missing?


(I was going to sleeve the axle but I may want to go to stronger after market axles with CVs later & I have been told that you can't fit the aftermarket axles if sleeves are installed.)


OR

Here is the lift I'm considering (best quote outside AZ so far):

3" Full Traction Long Arm kit
Bilsteins 5100 shocks
JE Reel 1310 drive shafts front & rear
Pure Jeep axle truss kit (including C-gussets)
C-R-C Link
including installation at Full Traction in Bakersfield

What am I forgetting/missing?


The Az quote is $200 less then the FT quote but FT has the C-R-C link, but its a 1000 mile round trip to FT which will add $500 (I will camp out & ride my dirt bike at Hungry Valley while the install gets done if I go to Bakersfield. )

So I need to know if I'm forgetting any thing reference the lift and whether to go local with a Teraflex LA Kit or is the Full Traction LA Kit with the C-R-C link worth the travel time and expense?

(I will be keeping this Jeep for 10+ years)


I'm interested in YOUR opinions as there is a lot of experience on this site.....



Here is my Jeep before it 'grows up'....

 

I'm diffidently not the right guy to give advise on heavy duty builds, but will suggest new front and Rear Bumpers, a winch, and tons of cash.

 

Bumpers are in the plan, didn't mention them as I was interested in the lift first.

But I'm considering either PSC Brawler light front bumper (maybe color matched to my Jeep) or the LOD Armor light front bumper (maybe color matched to my Jeep). If I go full width, probably Rock Hard.

For the rear, I like the LOD with the carrier that opens with the rear door (maybe color matched to my Jeep).

Since its a daily driver, planning on Best Top side steps/nerfs as my wife needs them to get in while shopping. I like the RSE autostep, but the costs is prohibitive.

As for money, I'm using some of my retirement fund so I can enjoy my money for the next 20+ years with this jeep instead of putting it together slowly.

 

Extended brake lines , that's what you forgot

 

Thanks for letting me know so I checked on the kit.

I Decided to go with the 3" Teraflex LCG LA kit. I was told there is plenty of brake line available for the front but the rear needs to be extended, but it comes with the kit...

 

You forgot to add a set of rear hanging balls for the rear. Maybe color match them as well? This is a definite so people can see how bad ass your jeep is! Haha jk

 

There a guy around here just done his front end build using rcv shafts and sleeves in a rubie Dana 44 that's the way to go IMO you can still bend a axel tube with the truss sleeves will be much much harder to bend IMO

 

Color matched poison spyder front brawler would look awesome!

Sorry, don't have much experience in the lift department. I'm still trying to think of what I'll get. Probably the AEV 2.5 dual sport kit. Sorry I cant help!
