lifting a truck

Hello, thank you for any information that can be provided. I have a 2011 double cab long bed. So I did a suspension lift. I added new Bilstein shocks and am on the 4th cir clip in the front at 2.15 and 2.46 in the back with icon rxt option 2 leaf springs. Lastly, just got the sway bar relocation kit.
I am wondering how important, it is to do any of the following ;

-re gear
-change my driveshaft
-purchase a big bore steering box
-or anything I am missing please advise

If I am golden because I am under 3 in that would be great but I am asking a novies taco enthusiast and just want to make sure I am protecting my investment and the components on my truck.

 

Regear if you are going to 35s, optional if 33s, probably not necessary if running stock tires. Maybe ecgs bushing to replace the weak needle bearing on the drivers side front axle. Driveshaft: maybe look at a carrier bearing drop if not already installed. Steering box upgrade might be overkill.

welcome to the forum

 

Consider getting the correct springs for the lift you want and setting the clips down to 0.

You are currently lifted via max preload of the springs

Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road can help with that selection

For now just ended up ordering from toytec the front differential drop kit and old man emu driveshaft carrier barrier drop kit

 

ecgs front diff bushing if you have front end vibes after the lift, its not necessary but a common issue.
