Make sure you get new shocks or shock extensions and then you are set.
To supplement this kit I recommend you also purchase front adjustable lower control arms and adjustable track bar. This will center your axle, correct your steering geometry and remove any 'flightyness' of the rig when traveling down the road.
flightyness is when you are driving and your Jeep feels like it is all over the road and you are correcting your direction by moving your steering wheel a lot.
Many people say you don't need this but I let my wife drive my jeep and I wanted it to drive true and straight at all times.
Good luck.

You have already got a good reply.
As for the steering stabilizer --
No, you don't need a new one.
You can, however, locate the original steering stabilizer further up, so it doesn't get hit when offroading.
scooby snacks,
I, too, have the '12 JKUR.
I installed the Full Traction CRC, which replaces the rear radius arm.
It improves directional stability by eliminating the sideways movements of the rear axle.
The difference is very noticeable.

I agree ^^^^ with the lower control arms part. As for the adjustable track bars they are nice to have but I'm running without them and have no problems. Since you in the middle east and want to save on shipping from America I would probably just go ahead and spend the $250 USD on a adjustable front track bar..
Not to side track but I'm sure the Saudi Dinar go's really far in USD because our money is basically junk and going down by the day. I know when I visited Kuwait city for a week 1 Kuwaiti Dinar was worth almost $5 USD. I went to the Hard Rock Caffe had a steak dinner and it was only 7 KWD.
