Question Misc. lift questions...

So after reading some of the various posts on here in reference to lifts and installations, as well as the thousands upon thousands of videos out there, I have some questions that I feel I am not clear on...

First, Will I need to install longer brake lines after lifting my JKU? (Teraflex 2.5 coil lift)

2nd, Will I need Coil Spring retention clips?

3rd, Will I need to buy new TPMS sensors for my new wheels, or can I just use the ones from my stock wheels?

4th, Will I be more manly after my lift is installed? [/B][/SIZE]

all depends on what you'll be using it for on the first 2. If your going to be flexing at all then yes. The 3rd question I would think you can not sure. And 4th well that's your decision

1st TeraFlex 2.5 coil lift comes with brake line drop brackets.
2nd its a good idea to have them to ensure your coils don't unseat or fall out
3rd yes
4th yes

#1 - yes, this is a good idea if you plan to take the Jeep off-road and flex the suspension

#2 - refer to #1

#3 - yes, you can move sensors to new wheels. However new larger tires are typically run with less PSI than OEM tires and you will be constantly fighting with the light. A ProCal can turn this light off as well as do many other helpful functions.

#4 - no, but your Jeep will have better self esteem

Cool, Thanks everyone for the responses! I really appreciate it!

I am finding that it's true what they say... Just Empty Every Pocket!

The first two completely depend on the shock you plan on using.
I have OME LT shocks on my TF 2.5 lift. Retainers and extended lines are a must.
If using stock shocks with extensions - you'll be fine.
