Thanks for the tips! I'm doing my install Tuesday. Any pics you can offer or additional tips would be very helpful. Im fearing Im expecting this to be easier then it will actually be. Did the brake lines seem to tight? Maybe brackets are a good idea for a tomorrow project...
I looked at the flex lines tonight, after a couple days of driving. No contact marks on either the shocks or the rubber, so they haven't touched. It's only about a half inch, but I guess it's enough.
I put a wood ruler (like elementary kids use) on a relocation bracket while I was under there. The hole spacing looked like it was 2 7/16 inches. (not quite 2 1/2, but more than 2 3/8)

Hope I've helped.

Did the install today, and it went smoooooth. Really really easy install, and had a good time doing it. I do see your point about the brake lines, and I'm going to fab up some brackets this week and put them on. There was plenty of flex for on road stuff for now. I did have a snag in that the swaybar disconnects were missing all of their hardware. All I received was the ends and the centers, no bolts, pins, etc. I have an email out to rough country to receive the missing parts and I have no doubt they will come through. I am very glad to ordered the links though. The rear sway bar is fine, but the front is really a stretch to use the stock links IMO.
I definately got some good lift out of the kit. I didnt bother to measure before and after, but it definately sits higher. Its been raining all day today so no pics, but I will grab some hopefully tomorrow and get some B&A shots up.
Thanks all for the help!

well there is an obvious advantage to coils over spacers, and when this kit was on sale for $219, well its tough to even get a coil kit for that. Plus is has new shocks! I couldnt resist that price alone.
Discos are swaybar quick disconnects that replace the stock links. It makes disconnecting your swaybar links much faster, and also accounts for the increased height to the swaybar with the new suspension.

On Christmas Eve Rough Country had a 24 hour sale on this and its BB kit. The BB was 99.95 and this kit was 219.95. AMAZING price for this kit I couldnt turn down, glad I didnt!

Gas milage sucks either way. Trust me when I say you will drive yourself crazy modding based on gas milage. Pretty much anything you do to your Jeep will make the milage worse, so just enjoy the ride and dont worry about it so much.
