2005 LJ with 31x10.5 BFG KO2s

Yesterday I ordered 2933/2942 springs and a JKS OGS151 rear track bar. I'm planning to order a JKS OGS126 front track bar today and I'd also like to figure out what else is needed to (hopefully) complete everything in one day. My current shocks are Bilstein 5100s. At the moment, I'm planning to keep these shocks but may switch to Rancho RS55128/RS55240.

With my last TJ (sold in 2012) I had a similar lift, with 2933/2942 springs and N66/N67 shocks, adjustable track bars and controls arms. This time, I'd like to get everything I need before I begin (except control arms). Should I plan on adding the OME 10MM spacers front and rear? Any recommendation for rear bumps stops or anything else I may be missing?

That looks really good. I have an OME lift too on 31's and have been happy with it.

I have these 2 inch spacers for the rear that came with my kit.

Thanks for the feedback. I did also add the OME FK16 Bump Stops in the rear but not in front.

Before ordering I spoke with Dirk at DPG and he suggested light duty springs. Having run the 933/942s previously, I chose those instead but I did end up with more lift in the rear than expected. The ride however is quite good. Sometime this summer I expect I'll end up running 33x10.5s.

A few more photos...

On the front, I used the 2 hockey pucks (on each side) that came with my kit front Dirk/DPG Offroad. They seem to work well.
