Default Rock krawler 3.5" entry kit question

I am thinking about getting the Rock Krawler 3.5" basic kit. I noticed that kit doesn't come with brake line extensions is that something I will need to replace right away or should I wait til I can do the mid arm kit that comes as more of a complete kit? Will I need to get a new driveshaft right away or will my stocker make it for a while if I do very limited wheeling? Also what shocks do you all recommend since none of the kits come with shocks. Thanks everyone

i have a rockkrawler setup also.. i think you will really like it... i think you will be alright with stock brake lines for now.. if your not doing anything crazy.. you should also be good with stock driveshafts... as far as shocks i would take a look at the Bilstein 5100’s, Pro Comp MX-6’s or Fox Shocks .. good luck

Thanks for the replys. Sounds like I should get the entry kit and do my brakelines. I have a 2010 4 dr auto rubicon and think with this kit and flat fenders running 37s

Planning on buying some xenon fenders. I already have extended bumpstomps and looking at xd addicts 17x9 with 37" km2s. It won't be wheeled much until summer time so I can have new driveshafts and control arms then. Does my plan sound like it will work for onroad driving for a couple months. Shocks I am looking into the bilstein 5100s or teraflex. I had the teraflex before and I liked them but heard good things about the bilsteins

They must have changed the backspacing since this post you can now get them in 4.5"
