Default Which BDS lift components do I need?

So i just ordered some 35'' trail grapplers on 17'' addicts and now i need to get the lift kit straightened out. The 2'' BDS kit seems to fit my needs and price range, but i dont know which of the extra components to buy, like the front and rear track bars and etc. My jeep is a DD with alot of highway miles, with some light to moderate wheeling on the weekends.

Those kit's will have everything you need for the install. So you don't need any extra components if yours is a DD, but if your jeep is a 2011-2013 then you'll need an exhaust spacer.

I had to add the front track bar with my BDS kit to keep things in line. 35k miles and it looks like my front drive shaft doesn't have much life left either. I have the 3in with fox2.0 shocks. Pretty happy with it for the price

I have the 3" , I'm pretty sure the exhaust spacer is only for 3" and up.

i have rock krawler 2.5 which ended up around 3" and it required both exhaust spacer and aftermarket front DS. With the aftermarket DS alone, the shaft would sit ever so slightly on the exhaust pipe so I just did both.

I have a complete new in box BDS 3" kit in the sale section. I'm on my phone so can't link it.
