I don't think you need to change anything with only 2'' lift, I got a 3'' and only got sway bar drop brackets

Technically speaking the axle is now like half and inch to the passenger's side with spacers but it really doesn't matter that much. I'd give the tie rod a half turn toward toe out to keep it from getting squirley. That's what I did with mine. (You should get in properly aligned but I'm a cheapo)

I missed that mileage thing. Mine gets like 20 mpg on 31s and stock gearing driving like I stole it. I have a cheap CAI and a cheap cat back dumped exhaust

Rear swaybars DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. They're the thickness of a paper clip

I literally put this thing together with ebay and salvage yards before I ever drove it so I have no clue what stock mileage was

intake by itself wont do much thats why most mods are listed as I/H/E intake, header, exhaust. think of it like this, you it cant pull more air in than whats being blown out... if you have a huge intake and dont change your exhaust, nothing really changes besides a clean filter... id just do a full tune up... and
