I would loosen up everything with it sitting level on the ground. Then go back and retorque. That's what Rancho instructs on their kit installs, don't tighten bushed bolts, control arms, drag link, tie rod, track bar, stabilizer, etc. until you're off the jacks and level.

I just installed the Teraflex 2.5" on my JKU and I love it. It rides better than stock (my wife agrees) and no noises. I almost went with the 3" zone, as they are made by BDS, but glad I went with Teraflex.

OME Nitrocharger Sport shocks. If that doesn't work, look into getting the MetalCloak Control Arms...those DuroFlex joints are awesome!

It's ok I appreciate you getting back to me. For right now I'm going to switch out my shocks with bilstein 5100s and teraflex control arms and see where that puts me

I went with the ProComp 4"-2" lift and I'm very pleased with the results.
Factory springs are used in the rear to keep factory ride and the front springs are replaced Leveling everything out. I've changed out the swaybars for quick disconnects. Handling is great as is the ride.
Lift,wheels,Nito Grapplers A\T and Labor (Dealer did my lift and I sold them back my wheels and Tires) $2100. Good luck you have lots of choices just remember you get what you pay for.
