No shocks yet they should be fine cause its only 2" but I'm keeping my eye out for a rubicon in the JY so I can snag the springs & shocks!
Other wise we'll go with some cheap procomp shocks!

This is a good write up.

I know a jeepchick that followed those instructions and did hers in her driveway.

Disco'ing the rear antiswaybar does not increase useful rear axle flex, it only makes the whole suspension system unstable for extremely off camber or extremely stiff obstacles. So while it's a good idea to disco a CJ or YJ Wrangler's antiswaybars due to their leaf spring suspensions, that's not a good idea for the TJ's far less stable coil spring suspension.

i'd keep the rear swaybar hooked up.
i have mine off, and it really leans around corners.

i can do a 3 wheel wheelie around left hand corners.

i went with longer skyjacker shocks in my tj with a bb.

My buddy and I just did a 1" body lift on his wifes wrangler this weekend. It was super easy and you shouldn't need anything else. Make sure that you also do the fan shroud lowering as suggested. And a tip for the front two, (you'll know what im talking about when you get there) remove the front running lights/turn signals that are in the grill, will make it easy to get to the bolts.

As for shocks you should be fine because all you are doing is a body lift, which shouldnt affect any thing else, generally. If you have some questions pm me, I might be able to help ya a bit.

**EDIT** disregard this ^^, misread your post. lol.
