2012 2dr Rubicon suspension ???
currently i have a teraflex leveling kit which consists of ( 1" in rear and 2" front )...

i bought a new bumper/winch and also
bought 2.5" pro-comp front coils to replace the spacers and compensate for the extra weight..
What will i need to go with the new coils???
I'm thinking, shocks,bump stop extenders,

I am running 4 door coils with mine and it helped with the extra weight of bumper and winch and when loaded down on trips. I am running just stock 255 BFG's for now and will upgrade later.

Better to get coils designed for jeeps with added weight and ones known to be quality. Procomp is neither. Something like Metalcloak would be the way to go.
I assume you already have shock extensions? If so, you can swap the coils in and leave it as is. Your shock will be the limiting factor, but that's fine unless you feel the need to have more suspension travel.
Bump stops are fine unless you swap shocks and then you just need to adjust so they don't over compress.
Again, if you have shock extensions, keep it simple and just swap the new coils in and remove the spacers. Done. Your call on which coils to use...

Nope. If your brake lines are still in the metal brackets, remove those brackets. That will give you plenty of length. If you are not sure what I'm referring to, go to the AEV website and look up the 2.5" lift, then open the instructions. It will show you in there what to do.
As for the bumps, set them so you don't over compress the shock and you are good to go. If you end up with more than 2.5" of lift and the steering feels flighty or ride is stiff, you can try going to the center hole on those ego brackets you have. I had those a while back and I think I went with the center hole for the best ride and steering.

How much weight are you adding? the OME HD coils are made for quite a bit of weight. I had a heavy steel bumper and 8000# winch and I got over 3" of lift from them. I think you would be better off with a standard quality 2" coil.
