Front adjustable track bar, rear track bar relocation bracket and an alignment. AEV ProCal to recalibrate the speedo. Don't go long without it, it's a waste of fuel.

You need to add bumpstops

I didn't/don't have an adjustable front track bar. There is a bracket for the rear that came with my kit. If you use RC shock, they have bumpstops built on the shaft of the shocks.
I have had the kit for close to a year and like the ride and handling characteristics of my JKU.
My driving is 90% on rode, so still running that stock Rubicon BFG's

......I have the 3.25 inch kit(it has 3/4 inch spacers with 2 1/2 coils)

I have the 3.25" kit too. I just had a front track bar and front control arm drop down brackets by Rough Country installed the other day. It's a TOTALLY different ride now. The steering is stiff and tight and hugs the ground. Eco lifts should be temporary only if at all!

Very good point! I have researched lifting mine for about five month, comparing the kits part by part, and finally bought a RC 3.5" lift for 500 bucks!
It comes with everything neede, I mean everything from bump stop brackets to brake line relocators! Nothing else to buy and you have a "real" lift kit! You can start with less, but in the long run you will add other needed parts and end up paying more anyway!
