Default Is that all I need?

I am probably obsessing but every time I think my list is complete I find something else I need! I want to lift my 2012 2 door Rubicon to get 35's under it. I am already pushing beyond my budget so lets not go too nuts! I just dont want to miss something silly and end up paying shipping for some random $30 part.

So what am I missing from this list that I NEED?

TF-1351002 TeraFlex JK 2-door 2.5" Lift Kit, W/out Shocks
4) Bilstein 5100 Shock Absorbers
AEV-30406007AB AEV ProCal Module (30406007AB)
TF-2610000 TeraFlex JK Exhaust Spacer Kit for 2012 Driver and Passenger
TF-1907220 TeraFlex JK Wrangler Spare Tire Extension Bracket
EVO-C2-PACK Off Road Evolution JK Evo C2 Axle Gussets & Control Arm Skids Package
5) 35x12.5x17 Goodyear MTR/K
5) Level 8 Strike 5 wheels
Ace rock sliders

Should I go with the 4 door TF lift instead of the 2 door to compensate for my LOD front bumper and winch?
Spare extension is to get by until I decide on a new rear bumper and tire carrier.
Gussets and CA skids seemed prudent and I want to learn to weld.
I have 410 gears so I dont plan on regearing.
Ace sliders were mandated by the Mrs to assist getting in the higher Jeep.

Thanks for any input.

Cmon vendors bring on the black Friday bargains!!!

Spend the money where it counts- dual front stabilizers... best quality ones

You can save some money by getting the TF kit with shock extensions and re-use your Rubicon shocks.

Um....no. Sorry.

I've been running 35X12.5R17 Toyo's (the heaviest 35" MT on the market) for two years on my JK. You DO NOT need to add steering stabilizers because you are running 35's....unless your steering or suspension is pooched. IF your steering and suspension is properly set up, alinged, torqued, and maintained, you will not feel ANY need to add a double steering stabilizer or any other pixie dust product.

OP - your list looks just fine. Not the exact choices that I would make...but it looks like you've done your research and thought things through.

If you're going to wheel it hard, consider beefing up the front axle - specifically the shafts, the tubes, and where the housing and tubes join. Cromo rear shafts aren't a bad idea either. Don't let this scare you though....I wheeled pretty agressively (read body damage ) for a year and a half - including a trip to moab - on the stock axles and 35's before I beefed up my front axle.
