Default What will i need for this amount of lift?

My jk unlimited x 4 door is strictly a daily driver for the time being and i was thinking of stacking a 2" spacer on my 2.5" coils in the FRONT. What other parts should be replaced to compensate for the extra 2" besides sway bar links, etc.? Also can i expect to be able to do everything myself (I have a decent amount of knowledge on it) or would it be better to have a shop do it for me? Thanks in advance

This is in response to the do it yourself question... If you can or with the help of a friend do it yourself the extra knowledge you gain about your Jeep will pay off in the end.

As far as the spacers ... why not just buy a set of 4" lift coils instead and then sell your 2.5's and your net cost will be about the same.

I would have to think new drive shafts, break lines, add on electrical lines for ABS wires.
