Default Mopar 2" lift - Is all this necessary?

Was just looking into the Mopar lift. I read all the comments on how it is overpriced and that it is just a Rubicon Express lift with Mopar's name....and so on and so on. Outside of that, are all these components necessary or even beneficial for a 2" lift:

Yes, most of that is good to have with a 2" lift. It is not necessary to have all the brackets, but it will help. There are bettter values for your money though...

Necessary for a 2" lift. No. Nice to have? Yes. You can't really compare this with a basic budget boost, because it isn't.

and - Is that CAM bolts above the trackbar ?? Oh my.

Yep, I hear you all. Cam bolts....suck. Price....sucks. Just wondering why this includes all these components while most don't.

Because most of that stuff is necessary if you want to retain factory like performance and specs. Most of the companies out there making lifts know that people are shopping price and cutting out the things that are not 100% necessary. Take getting a 2" budget boost without shocks, do you really think that to be a complete lift??

The Mopar kit is giving you everything. I bet you will never read of someone using this lift and ending up with the dreaded Death Wobble.

I would expect that the price is high.
