Default Rough Country 1.75'' Lift Input

Hi, I would like to know what do you think about this kit?

I need 1.5 to 2'' lift, this kit seems to be perfect, I plan on using this kit maybe 2 year until my 33'' wear out, and then, I will upgrade to a complete kit for 37s.

http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_jk-suspension-651.html
130$ without shock
+90$ Hydro 8000 shocks
+115$ Nitro 9000 shocks

Since I own a 2 dr X with low quality stock shocks, should I buy new shocks hydro8000 or pay 25$ more and go for Nitro 9000?
Will I see a big difference?

No brake lines extension or sway bar links needed? (like teraflex leveling kit)

Thanks for your help.
Sorry for my bad english.

I dont think you will need anything but the soacers. I had a 1 3/4 front / 1" rear spacers for almost 2yrs before upgrading. No issues...just put em in and go!!

No need for longer shocks? or bumpstop extension?

I didn't have them and was fine but I guess it would depend on how much you flex

With just 1.75 I think you will be fine
