Coil spring/shock change and spacer question

Very nice!! Yeah I had the steel wheels and all and a guy on here sold me his set of rubi rims and tires brand new for $1000 and then I plasti dipped them and that made such a difference to the look and stance!!
So I want to go 19/60 on the rims and am going to go with the red rubi shocks. So at that point I won't need to change or extend anything. If I do the aev 2 inch lift will those shock extensions work? And will I need to extend the brake lines? I basically want to make everything just an unbolt and swap and not have to get into changing any lines or anything.

Jeepin dad has got some god points as well. I wish I would have aded spacers when I did the change. Will just have to do down the road. Post some pics when you do would love to see before and after.

I swore I saw an AEV lift with shock extensions. It probably would not hurt to extend brake lines. I've been looking at Currie products. If you can do the springs and shocks the lines will be cake. You can refer to Eddie's write up on bleeding brakes. I followed one of his write ups for suspension lift when I did my springs and shock so that I could also torque everything to correct specs. Heck, I installed everything while reading it step by step on my droid.

Nice you have some mods in the works! They seem to have some quality products. I do like their replacement suspension hardware. Hopefully others can chime in with their experience with their products. Can't wait to see your pics.

so i just ordered a brand new set of 19/60 springs for my jeep from mopar today and got a set of 4 new take off red rubi shocks for $100 free shipping off ebay. i'll do a before and after shot of how mine looks. i have currently have 14/55s on there now so it should be a pretty nice difference. im gonna ride around on it for awhile and see how i like it and determine whether or not to go with the puck lift as well, i might be happy enough for awhile with the little lift it will get from the new springs and shocks

On a side note though, I was wondering where you got your American flag decal you have on your jeep? And how hard was it to take off your factory wrangler sport decals?
