Getting ready to install the simple spacer lift using shock extensions. Currently have Rubicon springs and shocks, 1.5 spacer up front and a 3/4 spacer in the rear. Also have the Mopar 2" lift front LCAs. I will be upgrading to longer shocks in a few months.

The RC kit comes with longer front sway bar links which I will be changing out for quick disconnects at the same time as the shocks. Will also be adding adjustable front track bar up front with the RC spacers. Do I need anything else going up 2.5"? Do I need a driveshaft spacer? Rear I will be swapping out the 3/4 inch spacer for a 2" as well. Thanks

Should be fine without it, but a carrier bearing spacer wouldn’t hurt. I ran that same setup with 37s before doing a full lift and it did just fine.

Done a few coil lifts before and you won't need much. You will be good for awhile with the setup you are going with. But, the carrier bearing spacing is definitely a good thing to add and not very expensive. Also an adjustable rear track bar or a track bar bracket is good too, just to keep things centered - also not very expensive.
