Default Installing Rubicon shocks and unlim springs on X....have questions.

I'm looking for a little stiffer and smoother ride and a small lift on my 2007 2dr X. After surfing this forum at length I deceided to buy and install a set of factory rubicon shocks and front and rear springs from a 2010 unlimited (springs are 17's and 58's I think). I'm also installing 3/4" front spacers to level it out a bit. Is there anything else I need to replace or will these items pretty much drop in without any other additional parts? Do I have to do a wheel alignment and recenter my steering wheel or just recenter my steering wheel? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nothing else needed. Just follow the write ups that are on the forum. Good luck.

Before I install I guess I'll be selling the 3/4" Skyjacker spacers and getting the 1" Teraflex. I appreciate the help.

Great idea! I might try it and see how it works. Heck.....I may even try a Teraflex leveling kit. Just a thought....would a Teraflex 1/2 inch spacer mate with the Skyjacker 3/4 inch spacer? Might be just perfect.
