Sorry, didn't meant to get that .gif in there.
Yes and no.
If you 'just' add the spacer and don't add longer bump stops, the springs will over compress and maybe collapse or snap.
Same goes for the shocks. The stock shocks won't snap off on compression, they will fit that way, but on droop they will come up hard enough to break things eventually. Repeated hits will fatigue the metal and something will give.
It is easy enough to get shocks that are 2" taller and the l>
As Mike says, you'll want longer shocks (alternately you could use extended bar pin eliminator shock mounts) and bump stop extensions (only required for the softer rear springs). You may also need some washers or spacers to drop the transfer case cross member a bit to correct your rear drive line angles.
As for fitting 33x12.50 tires, the seller is indeed 'full of it'. Maybe for the street only, but not off road, especially with a disconnected anti-sway bar.
With just the 2" boost, go no bigger than 31x10.50 tires. Add a 1" body lift to properly clear 32x11.50 tires.

Thanks Mike and Steve. I think I'll just save up for the Rubicon Express 3.5 or 4.5 lift.

I put one on just about a year ago. They don't call it Rough Country for no reason...
It does perform well on the trail. And for the price, it's a great deal. I did install it myself, so that save quite a bit of money. Email me at gymNOSPAMrat @ baileysNOSPAMcormer.NOSPAMcom
Just remove the "NOSPAM"s.
