Default 2.5 Lift Question

I will be starting to build on my MW3. I am going to go with the AEV 2.5" DualSport XT. I will stick with the stock tires and wheels at first to see how that goes. I am currently just looking for the lift (looking to move into the build slowly), that said, will I need to purchase anything else along with the suspension lift?
Here she is stock:

You'll probably want to correct the caster with the AEV control arm drop brackets or adjustable control arms. Stock tires will look small and you'll want 35s soon.

35s will be the next step shortly after

It's a great lift. It's perfect for my DD and wheeling in Colorado. I just installed the new TF tire carrier and 35s will happen next week.

Here's the only pic I have with my stock Rubi tires and that lift. Drove it like this for a couple of weeks.
I'd also recommend to geometry correction brackets, and they are relatively cheap. Other than that, you'll be fine. (Until you get tired of the small tires )
