I'm running a re 2.25 BB in rubi springs, i'm wanting to level my front out, i'm thinking about adding the new RE 2.5 inch springs up front, anyone done anything like this? I'm also looking at adding a JKS BL and MML, how hard is this to install? any problems i should look for?

What is your mechanical skill level? I thought they were easy.

How high are you going up with the body lift? 1" very few if any problems. 2" you may have to remove a couple wire harness hangers or mounts. 3" you'll have to make a few modifications to your fuel lines, brake lines, transfer case shifter linkage, & raise the steering linkage from the steering wheel to the box.
just remember that as you go with the body lift the more stresses you'll put on the body & frame at your connection points.

is that the kinda stuff you're looking for?
 
I'm an average do-it yourselfer, put everything i have on my rig to date myself, So with the rancho springs up front the bb out back did this help with rake? did you have to address anything else...trackbar? by buddies say if i stay at 2.5 or under the trackbar will not be enough off to worry about, r they wrong? I'm looking at a 1.25 inch JKS body lift and MML
 
if you know how to handle a little bump steer there's not much to worry about. honestly if you want to lift your jeep and not waste your money get a complete lift kit. because when you start tinkering with one thing. the springs for example the next thing you know you'll be getting control arms or track bars or steering stablizers or SYE & CV shafts then you'll be buying axels & transfercases.
do a google search on "TJ lift problems" and you can edjucate your self on what kind of "problems" you'll run into. the list is far too long :) trust me I've wasted enough money on my junk
 
ONE bolt (drivers side I think) on the MMLs is a F'n PITA. When you get it out, I'd put it back opposite how you took it out.
