Default 2010 JK Upgrade

New to the site, and was hoping to get some guidance and comments on a lift and lighting upgrade.
2010 JK Mountain.
Keeping the stock wheels as I have two sets.
Considering the following upgrade:

Rough Country 2.5'' premium lift while using my oem coils

RC637 2007-2012 Jeep JK Wrangler 2.5 Inch Premium Suspension
Axles tip 1/4 so Iam considering purchasing the track bar items to correct this.

1.5 wheel spacers

dual shock steering stabilizers

87349 2007-2011 Jeep JK Dual RCX Steering Stabilizeral RCX Steering Stabilizer

Delta windsheils lights and hood light kit.

Will the lift kit items work out fine or will there be any other items required? Am I choosing the right equipment?

Has anyone purchased the delta light items I am looking at, are they junk, whats the story on these?

What are you wanting to due with your Jeep? There are so many ways to go. Do you have an auto or standard? 2 or 4 door? What tire size do you plan on running? I have a 2010 2dr with a good amount of mods. I have them listed on my profile.

Its a daily driver, 2 door, 6 spd. Not looking to go off road mudding, but will be offraod to the extent of fire roads etc.Just looking to give it some height. Tired of having the same factory jeep as all the rest.....As stated earlier keeping the Factory 17'' tires & rims,because I have two sets right now.

From what I have listed, are these quality items and am I buying items I do not require?
Are the Delta brand lights crap? Getting very little info on these lights in my research.

I wouldn't do a lift more than a leveling kit with stock tires. There a ton for sale on here. As for Delta I would call one of the sponsers on here and talk to them. That and they always give us discounts whenever possible. The stabilizer is not needed unless you damage the stock one. Wheels spacers are a good idea to help with the overall look. I also have a 2010 2dr and a leveling kit with 34's. Has a really balanced look. A leveling kit is all I would do for what your looking to due. I did upgrade my shocks to bilsteins for a better ride.

Hey fellow newfie! woo hoo...

I would go with teraflex. that is what im using! get your stuff from northridge. free shipping to us out here....awesome deal!

color is your mountian? any pics>?

Yeah delta is pretty much crap. you want real light for here in NL!....I have hella 500s converted to 55w HID, REAL LIGHT!

are both your sets of factory wheels grey? or you have a silver set too?

Here is how my jeep sits with a teraflex leveling kit and 33" tires compared to a stock rubi. subtle but noticeable...

For lighting, I can't speak to the deltas, but I highly recommend rigid industries. I had never heard of them, but am now running them. Just YouTube "rigid industries lighting". There's also a few writeups on the forum about them.
