I am running the TF 2.5 coil lift with shocks and 35's. I did end up going back and ordering an adjustable front trackbar but still use the rear bracket that comes with the kit. My axle was off center a little and I did it for looks. Once installed it did make a difference in the handling, much better. I wouldn't say its necessary but it helped mine. I have not changed out any other parts like control arms etc.

X2...This is exactly how I did it. I have had mine on for 1.5 years now.

I get some fender rubbing at full stuff but I am probably going to trim the fenders anyway. Nothing too bad

Until which lift can u run the stock shocks without extensions?

Can you run a 2,5" lift kit with the stock brake lines, from which lift height do u need to extend them?

I'm still running the stock brake lines, the TF does come with a bracket for them. Looking at some of my pics while flexing I would be hestitant to go any taller without extensions, they were pretty tight
