Default Spacer lift

Quick question, and I tried to look around with the search, but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I have a stock 07 X 2 door that I put Sahara rims on, and I found a guy that has 2 inch spacers for the springs, but nothing else. No track bar bracket, no rear sway bar spacers.
So my question is, can you put only the spacers in and not have any problems with the track bar or rear sway bar? Anyone done this?
I only want to lift it for the look, I'm probably not going to be getting any bigger rims/tires.

Why do you need you Sahara 2” higher? Is it just for looks?

I have an X with Sahara rims, but yeah, it would just be for looks. Here in Illinois there's not many places you can run off road. At least nothing extreme. I just wanted to know if it would work without causing any problems.

Yes, you can put the spacers on with no other components. Or you can put them on now and add other components when you get around to it. Drive with the lift and see what you think you need.

Thanks. I was just concerned because most of the kits I've seen have, at least, spacers for the rear sway bar. A guy is trying to sell these to me used, but doesn't have anything other than the coil spring spacers. I don't want to put them on and tear up the sway bar links or anything.

I was in Huntley, 30 miles NW of Chicago, now I live in Round Lake, 25 miles or so north of the city.
