If you have a 2012 you will need an exhaust extension

Everything is there. Drivelines recommended, not needed.

Yep front drive shaft sooner or later if you have a automatic. I have a 3. 5 lift and I tore my boot on the transmission.I have a jku a two door will have a more steeper angle than a four door.

I have it and love it.
i highly suggest not using the drop pitman arm and trackbar bracket and just use an adjustable trackbar instead. The drop pitman arm can cause additional stress on the sector shaft/steering box

if you have a 2012 your also going to need to purchase the "exhaust extenstion"

You would have to do some research on what you want. There are multiple sources such as J.E. Reel, Coast, Tom Woods, etc.

Search for those manufacturers in the forums and you will get reviews and such.
