Default swaping parts 2dr to 4dr

I have a 2010 2dr and looking upgrade to a 2012 4dr. I'm wondering if my current parts listed below will work without any issues or extra need parts.

AEV 2.5" 2dr lift
RR front and rear XHD steel bumpers
RR front skid plate

Bumpers and skid will be fine. Lift should as well but would expect height to be a little lower due to additional weight.

Like said above,everything except the lift,the spring is lighter on the 2 door so may get a sag,whereas a 4 door lift would have a heavier spring rate which why you see jk's swapping in 4 door springs into a 2 door

Is it just the skid that attaches to the front bumper ? If so should be good !

Since when is getting a JKU an upgrade?? Sounds more like a downgrade to me

Yes you going to need a vacuum pump relocation bracket if you run a winch. any lift over 3" and your going to need a exhaust spacer to clear the front DS
