Mild Lift: What Do I Need?
I'm going to add a winch bumper to my Unlimited Rubi, which will drop the front end a little due to the added weight. To make up for it, I plan to put a 2" lift up front and a 1" in back. What do I need to do, or not do, to keep everything (including the sway bar disconnect) working and intact? Cost is a concern, but not the primary one.
PS: Yes I would like to go bigger, but this is the compromise with wife who wants to keep the Jeep height fairly stock.

THe combination you mentioned sounds perfect for what you want to accomplish. Try and get pucks for both front and rear. So 1 - 2 inch for front, and 3/4 to 1 inch for rear. You'll be really happy with this setup. The Jeep will drive almost identical to stock and everything will work fine.
The limits of the front sway bar links is when you start going over 2.5 inch. Other than that you'll be fine.
