Default Rubicon with 1.75" lift--questions...

So I think I'm going to go with Daystar 1.75" front coil spacers and either .75" or 1" rear spacers on my new Rubicon to clear 33's.

I had the same lift on my last JK Sahara, although it only had 32" tires. At that time I had longer Bilstein shocks, extended bumpstops, and JKS Quicker Disconnects. I never really disconnected when off-road.

My new JK is a Rubicon. So in addition to the spacers, should I do longer bumpstops again? Would I be wise to get longer front sway bar links? I've heard the rear links fit on the front. If I bought a set of them, would they work or be too long? Should I also consider front shock extensions like Teraflex or AEV? I don't plan to change the shocks just yet. I do use the e-disco on the Rubi and want to make sure everything is set up properly.

I added 1.75'' RC spacer both front and rear on my 2dr X 3 months ago, I did not add bumpstop extension or anything else, I kept the X stock shocks. The ride is a litle rough.

I did flex and got no rubbing issue but I dont disconect swaybar.
