Default What else needed?

Got a 2dr x with 3.73 gears.
Wanna do a 2.5 coil lift and 35s
Do I need:
New drive shaft?
Do I need sleeves and all that?
What gears for mud/fire trails and dd?
And was thinking 5100 shocks?
Anything else I am missing?

I'm doing the same thing right now. You might need a Procal or other programmer to reset your spedo and shift points and wheels or Spacers depending what you are currently running.
Happy hunting!
I've been doing homework for a couple weeks and think I'm ready to pull the trigger.

A lot of guys, including myself, cut the pinch weld. Others, though, swear against it.

Unless you plan on going to 37's, 4.88's are almost overkill as I'm finding out myself. 4.56's will get you closest to stock ride if you've got a 6 speed manual...

I've got a right hand drive auto 08 2 door on a 4.5" lift and 35 x 12.5 tires with 3.73 gears and didn't bother with anything else and i haven't ever had any problems with anything or have any signs of any problems.
and i put my jk on a lift weekly to inspect it.
