Also i understand that the shocks and sway bar links extensions are useful to maintain the offroad suspension drop point and flexibility.
The ARB is a selectable locker and requires more labor for installation. The only time I use the one in my XJ is in the most technical of obstacles or while climbing a steep rock hill when the dirt is loose beneath my back tires. The TruTrac is a great LS which only requires a slight bias of tire spin for the traction device to engage. While off road if needed... you can lightly tap your brakes and this will engage the traction device. On the highway the TT has great road manners and only engages when needed.
Thank you all for your support, you are a great community, respect!

Just wanted to know how it actually feels compared to stock height, the feedback i got is that there is no significat deterioration with an 2 inch lift.I actually think to buy a 2.5 polyurethane spacers and install them without adding the original isolators wich i ve seen that they are around half of an inch. Also i understand that the shocks and sway bar links extensions are useful to maintain the offroad suspension drop point and flexibility. respect!

If your going with the 2.5 kit why not save your lunch money for another 3 weeks, just eat PB&J and buy a proper basic spring lift? You will have increased ride performance from a higher rate spring than stock and if you add more weight, down the line you won't have to buy twice. Buy once cry once... At 2.5" you'll be right on the edge of needing caster correction(read flighty steering without) in the front end anyway. Dirtman on here has a good thread on lifts that's a good jumping off point to figure out what you want to get for your needs.
