As with any lift, the added components are a preference. Rather than ask people who have no clue what your tolerance is, do a little more research to get a handle on what specifically each component does, and at what heights they may become more important.

I just did the rear.
The rear spacer is 1.75" but the instructions indicate to remove the factory isolator so the effective lift in the back is about 1 - 1.25". The bumpstops and shock extensions are about 1" also.
This may be the reason there are no rear sway bar, track bar or brake line modifications for the rear.
I have not done the front yet but the front spacer is a full 2" and the factory isolator is to be left in place. This should add a full 2" of lift in the front so it does include sway links and brake line brackets. I can imagine that it will take out any rake.
The photo below is not mine but was indicated to have the 2" suspension and 33's:

David sold me mine. It was delivered amazingly fast, and it should be installed this week, wife permitting...
I have to admit im dissapointed with AEV's suggested front brake line quick fix for 2011's. Zip tying the brake line, unpadded, to the shock don't jive with me.
Pictures upon installation!
