Question 1 3/4 lift kit

I am wanting to lift my JK and keep my stock shocks 4 a while and not change any other major things 4 now. I have found a daystar kit on quadratec part #16058.100X and also a pro comp lift on ebay item #110470531370. Has anyone had any experience with either kit? Both look the same but would like some advice.

With 1.75 in of lift you won't need to do anything but add the spacers to the stock springs...

I have 1.75" spacers in the front. It would be a good idea to get longer swaybar links for the front.

I am in process of maybe picking one up off a member here 4 $60 shipped. But my jeep is almost level already it is maybe 1/4 inch lower in front barely noticeable. I do not want it higher in the front since i will be pulling a boat with my JK. Right now with boat it sits slightly lower in rear I would like to keep it that way. I believe the same lift all around would work out better than TF leveling kit.

why the extended swaybar links with that small a spacer? I have those spacers and they compress to approx 1.5" under normal weight. if i disconnect the swaybar i get full flex anyway and I haven't had any issues yet. Do I need extended links?
