I want to possibly upgrade my suspension system but I'm not sure exactly what will be needed. I want a 3.5" lift and my jeep is a DD with almost no offroading so I probably won't need drive shafts.
Right now I have a teraflex 2.5" lift and just swapped out my shocks for some bilsteins 5100 which I'm planning on keeping. Other suspension components I already have is as follows;

New 5100's as mentioned
AEV geometry correction brackets
front lower adjustable arms (teraflex)
adjustable front trackbar (teraflex)

So what do I need to get me on my way to a 3.5" lift

 

First off, you'll need some 3.5" lift coils to actually get you the lift height. I recommend something like a Rubicon Express 3.5" Lift Kit. It will give you the coils along with some other parts that you may or ,may not already have. Depending on the year of your Jeep, you may need to get an exhaust spacer so that the drive shaft clears it.

Are the shocks you bought going to be long enough for the bigger lift? You may want to measure those shocks and make sure that they'll work for you. Other than that you should be okay. I hope this helps!

Just put Rubicon Express 3.5" on my 2012 JKU. It came with shocks made by Bilstien. Actually got 5" difference on the front due to leveling out and 4" on the rear with factory bumpers.

 

You just need a 1" spacer or a set of coils that are 1" longer then your current ones.
