11' jk suspension lift
I've got a 2011 JK sport. Wanting to put the Rubicon Express Economy 2.5" Spacer Lift on it. its just a daily driver, just wantin to get some more air under the belly. Should i get new shocks to go with this or will OEM be fine?

I like many others will tell you to not get rubicon express. Look into brands such as teraflex or something else.
As far as shocks go, I would say install the kit and see how it feels. If you do go off road you may want new shocks that are the correct length. They are easy to replace though.

As far as a spacer lift goes any really should do. Shocks are up to you. If you off road and run disconnected you might want to get some that are a10" travel and run some extended bump stops. If you don't off road then running the stock shocks with a shock extention bracket will be fine for you.

If Intersted I have the 2" RE spacer lift with shock extenders and a set of 4 rubi shocks with about 2000 miles on them off my 2013 Rubi. Il sell all of it for 250 shipped to you. PM me if interested.

Spacer is a spacer for the most part. The only company that really stands out for those in the market is Teraflex for their rear funnel design which keeps the springs for popping out of place upon extreme droop and re-seats them correctly. If that's not a concern for you, then just run whatever spacer brand that comes with a cool sticker you like.
On shocks, OEM are a few years old. Personally, I think the non-rubi shocks are too soft and heat up too quick offroad (leads to diminished dampening). If you do plan on going offroad, then I'd upgrade those as well. If not and you like the factory ride on road and the lift is just for a more aggressive stance, then run what ya brung.
