The only thing extra I got when I had my 2.5 was the rear trackbar bracket and some swaybar discos

The only thing you have to have are spacers (if running the stock tires). Went 7 months without track bars. They are very nice to have but I would not consider them critical. Also if you plan on putting on disc's now would be a good time since to the stock ones come off anyhow.

I ran stock wheels with rubi take offs and never used spacers and never had any rubbing problems. I had the Rough Country 2.5 lift though...

You dont need a front track bar...if you want one you can get one but its not needed. I dont have a rubi so I cant help you with the e-disco.

Your e-discos will work fine.

I would allocate your extra $ towards:

1) Spidertrax wheel spacers (if you don't plan on purchasing new wheels with less backspacing)
2) Adj. front trackbar
3) Adj. front lower control arms.

Your disconnect will be fine. You get new rear swaybar links and move the factory rear links to the front. This allows the e-disco to be used without flipping at max droop.

You will need wheel spacers or the rear wheels will rub the new swaybar links when you flex. The only other thing I would suggest is longer break lines. Even with the rear brackets, the lines pull pretty tight with the additional travel of the Teraflex shocks. I replaced mine just to be safe....
