I am currently running the RE5.5LA Tri-Link set up with 36" IROKs on my 03TJ. The front has 2" spacers to help compensate for the weight of the Warn 9.5ti. I also have the Bilstien 5100s for the set up.

I am looking to drop down to 3.5" springs in the rear and remove the 2" spacer in front and change the tires to 35" BFG's.

I know this set up will probably limit my ability to run Tellico, however after the $3500 axles and ARB that I blew up last time I am probably done with that place and will just hang out in Uwharrie.

Will I need to change the shocks or will I be fine and just have more up travel available?
 
I ran Tellico on 33" BFG A/T's and limited slip (Detroit TrueTracs) front/rear...on RE 3.5" springs...

with lockers and a winch, you'll be able to run most of it...especially since you have (I assume) the RE fairly flat t-case skid...

you just need to check to see if the shocks bottom out...if they do, you just need to add some bumpstop...
