Default lifting my WJ what else is needed.

Hey guys lifting my first WJ and looking for some expert advice here, I just picked up a rustys 25" coil lift with shocks to clear the 265/75/16" tires. will I need anything else for the lift? upgrade CA? or trac bar? will I need to toss a budget boost in also to clear the tires? strict DD as my XJ does the wheeling. any questions feel free to ask. Thanks!

You're going to need a lot of stuff with twenty five inches of lift.

Longer shocks would be about it.

An adjustable track bar is never a bad idea. A double shear style track bar will offer better performance and is stronger.
