Default Exhaust spacer with leveling kit?
Im leaning towards the EVO leveling kit (2" coils front, 3/4" spacer rear). Will I need anything else like the exhaust spacer, extended brake lines/sway bar links?

Are you changing your shocks? I have a TF 2.5" BB with shock extensions and mine doesn't contact the exhaust at full droop. If you go with longer travel shocks you might need the spacer. Only way to find out for sure is flex it and see.

Is that all you're running? Any driving/handling issues?

Stock shocks without extensions.

You won't need the spacer. Stock shocks don't allow enough flex for the driveshaft to interfere.

I have the TF leveling kit on my 2012 Sahara. The kit came with longer sway bar links in it. You should have them also.

I don't think so. There's a sticky in modified tech that covers that.
