With the 3" teraflex coils you get about 4" of lift. Now, ride quality may suffer a bit if you don't get atleast front adj lower control arms so you can increase your caster. That way your JK will handle better than factory.
I don't know if you have a 2dr or 4dr, but if yours is a 2dr you will also need to up grade your drive shafts.
Make sure to post pics after your JK grows again.
Good luck!

Bumping this back to the top. Been running a 2.5"TF BB on my JKU for few years now and it's been great! I want to go a little taller because after all, who doesn't wish they had an extra inch or two?? I want to put on the TF springs. Northridge4x4 has the springs labeled 3" for 4 door, 4" on 2 door. Am I going to have to make any other mods on top of the springs or are the longer sway bar end links trac bar bracket and brake line extensions from the original kit enough to handle it? I've also got 3" over stock OME shocks already.
