I installed an AEV 2" spacer lift a few weeks ago. With this mild of a lift I didn't need to add anything else for it. Just remember to loosen the CA bolts and retorque so the bushings can settle at the new height to avoid unnecessary wear on them. I forgot to do this at the time I put my lift on so I will be loosening everything up tomorrow and retorquing them.

I have a Sport S. I installed rubicon shocks and springs but those kits have extenders for the factory shocks so you won't have to replace the shocks. I have heard 35s will fit but it probably won't leave much room. I dont have any personal experience running 35s on this size kit so someone else may be able to answer that question better.

The rubicon express 2" spacer lift was the fist lift I had on my JK. I ran 35's, but had flat fenders. There was room but it was not significant. I did have the rubicon express monotube shocks though, which allowed for more travel. I liked the set up when I had it.

I'd go the teraflex budget lift from Northridge4x4.com. I know Wayne been running it on his rubi for two years
