Ordered parts for 2.5 lift and wondering if while every thing is apart would it be best to swap them. Read that it's not really needed with just a 2.5 but will it be beneficial in the long run.

i agree with Rory.
Might as well do them for the longevity of your BJs and UCAs

I'm with these two guys, it's still a reasonable idea.

Im doing the upper BJs and flipping the UCAs when I get around to doing the lift. Your already in there and its something you dont want to break when driving. Fishstick did a good write up on them. I dont think you will have to mod any parts, but I do remember talk of a sawzall and trimming something. Not 100% on that, might double check with fishsticks.
...Yeah i know whisperer is spelled wrong... long story short, i carry Colgate Wisps everywhere i go...
