Default suspension question

Got a question for everyone. I Have a 2013 jk 2 door. I have a 2.5 in bb/ puck lift. The spring are stock 13 up front and 55 in the back. I just got an awesome deal on a rubicon suspension setup up, with 18 spring up front and 59 in the rear. Will this lift the jeep past a point of it being reliable with the stock drive shafts?? And if so would you rather have the 2.5 bb lift or the smaller lift from just the springs. And my third question, If I stay with the pucks and use the rubi shock will I still need the extenders that are on the factory shocks that came with the bb lift??

Rubi shocks are the same length, so yes, use the extenders.

I wouldn't use the BB and the springs. You'll be well over 3" of lift. On a 2 door, you will definitely want to adjust caster. You'll likely want adjustable track bars as well. Shocks will be on the short side again.

Pick the coils or the pucks. The Rubi coils are nothing special, just a higher spring rate for a heavier Jeep (assume they came from a 4 door?). So, you'll get an extra inch and a stiffer ride.
