Default Black Diamond 2" Lift

Sometime in the near future, I plan on lifting my JK with a coil spacer kit. I've been looking at the 2" kit from Black Diamond. I've been reading-up on installation of the kit, and I have a few questions.

First of all, will I need to buy anything other than the actual kit? According to JC Whitney, " 2" Kit includes: 4 thicker coil spring isolators to replace the factory isolators on the front and rear springs. 4 new suspension travel-stops prevent over-compression. Easy to install 2" spacer lift kit allows use of original shocks for added value. "

Also, will I need to relocate the brake lines? Will I need to buy an adjustable track bar? Anything else?

I would suggest getting th AT shocks as well, at 2 inches your brake lines should be fine.

Actually, I'm planning on getting the Rancho 9000XL shocks which allow for up to 2" of lift. So I won't need to buy extenders or anything. Thanks for the replies!
