Help,
I bought a 2017 JKU for my wife. I bought a set of 35x12.50x20 Nitto trail Grapplers on rockstar rims plus a lift kit from a friend (his pregnant wife was having trouble getting in). The lift was just 4 springs and 4 shocks, plus extender brackets to move the brake lines.
When I put the springs and shocks in, the rear sway bar end links were way too short, so I removed the rear sway bar(until I get longer end links) and used them on the front. I'm going to be getting an alignment done soon, but I wonder what else should I change to make it "right".
I'm pretty sure it's a 2.5" lift, but I'll have to measure the springs to be sure.
I'm thinking adjustable track bars, but do I need control arms too?

2.5" lift you should have adjustable track bars, it's important that the axles are centered under the Jeep.

2.5 lift should have trac bar relocation brkts. Google a Teraflex 2.5 lift, it will show you what it comes with/needs.
