Default Teraflex 4" suspension lift

For my 2 door 2010 Jeep Wrangler (it's a sport) I've only put 2 inch spacers on.. I was looking to upgrade with a nicer lift and was recommended this lift by a friend. The teraflex 4" suspension system with full (8) flex arms. Now I've never done a real lift, so I was looking for some advice.
1) it says on the website I will need to modify my driveshaft.. Understandable. But what exactly do I have to have done? What do I need to buy/ where should I take it in? And what would the approximate price be?
2) on the website it says... "This system includes a 4" lift kit, shocks, lower flex arms and upper flex arms, front swaybar disconnects, rear swaybar links, rear trackbar links," etc. Does this mean the lift comes with a front and rear swaybar? Because the sport does not come equipped with one.
3) I was looking to put Bilstein shocks on because those were also highly recommended.. If I just purchase this lift without shocks and purchase the Bilstein shocks for a 4" lift, is that all that needs to be purchased for instillation? (I obviously do not install things myself)
Sorry, I'm honestly just getting into this and still learning. Any feedback is appreciated!

1. You need to replace the driveshaft completely with a AM one. I run a Coast 1310, they run $449 at Northridge.

2. The links help correct your swaybars', yes you have both a front and rear on your sport, geometry. Which will help your body roll.

3. You can order it w/o shocks and get any kind you want. Just make sure you order shocks meant for your lift height.

4. I would recommend a drag link flip as well

Enjoy your new lift

You will need to get new drivelines. They won't blow up right away but with that much lift you'll wear them out sooner then later.
