What else is needed to complete this lift?

You know, if you came into the shop, we would recommend just scrapping the kit and starting fresh complete 2.5" lift. I know you bought it with that kit on there, but if you were to start over you could get something a higher quality that has components included that are designed to work with each other. There is no reason why a JK with a moderate lift kit should drive like crap. Matter of fact with a nice kit it should drive better than it did when it left the showroom floor. You've got some good options out there: JKS, EVO, Metal Cloak... A little more money spent will yield some pretty dramatic results in a case like yours...

That's were I think I'm heading. Just starting over and picking the lift I want. The wheels that I have are 20 inch... Keep looking and reading about the teraflex

Depending on your local market, you should be able to salvage a little value out of the parts you remove.

As long as the geo brackets have various mounting options, you can still use them with a 2.5" lift, and would want to.....unless you go with adjustable control arms instead. You'll still need some form of caster correction.

I had the same lift on my 2012 2 door and liked it. I ended up putting 1" teraflex spacers on it too because I wanted a little more height. Then I put bushwacker flares on it and wanted tires bigger than the 35" mud graps I had. Ended up trading it for a 4 door while it was at the dealer getting the heads replaced. It's a never ending process with a Jeep I've found out.
