I just put this kit on last week and love it. I saw no noticable shift of the axle front or back, so I did not use the bracket or new trackbar. I also did not see a need for the brake line ext. Old bump stops seemed fine. Looks great when done, just about a 1/2" rake left but I can live with that.

i did the same lift 2 weeks ago , no noticable movement on the axles , maybe a 1/4 in , the bump stops are built into the 2.2 shocks if you ordered them , i didnt extend the brake lines , i have done a lil flexing , but not discoed yet it looks like theres enough brake lines w out extending , it goes in real easy a few hours , by yourself , good luck

no. technically, you don't even need the one in the rear but if you were to get anything up front, i would recommend that you get an adjustable track bar.

The RC kit doesn't include extended bump stops...are they necessary with the design of this kit?
while they are not necessary, they are good to have as they will help prevent the over compression of your coils.

Do I need to get longer sway bar links for the front or the rear? I was planning on getting teraflex quick discos. Suggestions?
if you have a rubicon, i would recommend that you get new longer rear links and install the factory links up front. if you have an x or sahara, get the quick discos and leave your factory rears in place.
