Default Spacer leveling kit, do I need longer swaybar links?

I have an unlimited Rubicon, I am installing a 1.75" spacer up front and a .75" spacer in the rear(no other suspension mods), I will also be installing a winch bumper up front at the same time. Do I need longer swaybar links? If so, can I go ahead and install all of this and replace the links in a few weeks when I can order them? (Assuming I don't go off-road in the meantime)

NO. You will not need any of the above. Once you get over 2" then you may want to consider it. If anything, your swaybar links would be the first to consider because you don't want them to invert. You can find plenty of rear bar ends in the for sale or even freebee section. Using a pair of rears in place of your fronts would work just fine.

Great, that's what I was thinking, but I wanted to make sure.

Your stock shocks will be just fine too. I've got 1 3/4 on mine and everything works great.
