Default Rusty's 2" Suspension

So in all the madness of getting my Jeep it looks like I've got some extra cash from a skipped payment in the ordeal. After reading all the topics my eyeballs could handle I've decided on the Rusty's 2" coil lift now and then put some 33's underneath later on when I get my tax return. But I've got a couple questions, firstly with the 2" kit is there anything additional I need??? Also, when I do switch to the 33's can the dealership reset the speed calibration or does it require an aftermarket calibrator??? Thanks for the help guys!

If you stay with 33's, you will be fine with the 2" lift. You don't NEED anything else with a small lift, but some good things to have are longer swaybar links, and some brakeline drop brackets. I added 3/4" spacers in front and bumpstop extensions to run 35's.

Depends on how wide you go with the tires, 11.50" wide, you may be able to fit them with a little trimming of the airdam or take it off. If you want a 12.50" tire, then spacers would be needed. Either way it would look way better with spacers IMO. Gives you 3" wider track if you use the Spidertrax!
