Default About AEV 2.5" dualsport Lift and parts compatibility? 2013 jk

Hi guys I'm considering buying a 2.5" aev lift with their geometry correction front control arm drop brackets, Would I need to replace driveshafts? I'm gonna run General Grabber in 35x12.50r15 but what wheels would fit the 2013 jk? I'm looking for complete black wheels that won't rub, Quadratec had em but seems they're out...also I wanna regear, what should I use for the jk?. 4.88 would be perfect?. Thanks in advance.. also what about the steering or any additional parts I should get with these?

Don't need any other parts besides the drop brackets. You have a 2013 so might no need to to regear. There is chart on here that explains all the gearing. As far as black wheels I love my rugged ridge wheels.

I love it, But yet I wish to retain the exact amount of performance I'd have to compensate for the bigger tires so I think I'll still lean towards regearing this, My 2011 was a DOG, not like an attack dog but a weak sick and dying dog, So yeah, I am wondering if 15s fit on the 2013?

As far as I know they should but spacers I'm sure will be needed for the proper back spacing. Your 11 had a 4 speed mini van transmission. The new pentastar is a 5 speed, completely different. As far as Re-gearing goes, look at the chart. Looks like 4.56 if you have an auto would be my choice.
