You'll be good with the long travel shocks.

You definitely need extended bump stops front and rear, especially with the long travel shocks. With the OME lift and the spacers on top, you probably have close to 5" lift. I would keep a close eye on the drive shafts.

Steering stabilizer looks like it's backwards.
Check out WOL write up on replacing the stock one. Piston end should mount to the tie rod not the shaft end. Even after market stabilizers have it mounted with the piston end on the tie rod.

Generally speaking you should extend the bump stops by the same amount of the lift increase. You can get by with less but you might have some fender rubbing. The stock JKs have approximately 2-4 inches from the bottom of the bump stop to the top of the axle perch.

x2 on the drive shaft. The angle looks pretty sever in the that last picture. Inspect it and maintain regularly, very regularly.
