Default New jeep owner (rk 2.5 stock mod kit)

Hi, I am a new jeep owner and am planning on lifting it to fit 35x12.5x17 tires. I have a 2008 2door rubicon auto. It will be mainly be a DD with some offroading nothing extreme though. I am doing a slow build due to funds but also as a learning aspect. I will be doing the install. I want to learn what adjustments works best for my jeep during the step process when adding other components and how it drives. I didnt want to start with a body lift or budget boost. I really like the RK suspension line so I figured the 2.5 stock mod kit would be a good starting point and eventually grow into the xfactor kit or maybe a long arm in the future. I was going to start off w/ shock extensions and then get new shocks very soon (learning experience). My question is will there be anything else needed to get me started such as brake lines ext or brakelines, sway bars, bumpstops,etc??

Good choice with RK, there new triple rate springs are nice and I'm very happy with my set up so far, I would recommend bump stops 2" should be fine, your brake lines should be fine as long as you put extension brackets on them, and if interested I have a set of shock extenders I'll sell you all 4 for 50 bucks shipped
