You will also want to look at getting replacement shocks as well. You can use the 18" rim and go up to 275 70 18 with a little front end rub (maybe). No need for any brake line extensions with 2" lift.

You will need a new OME steering stabilizer. Which RTE springs did you order? The type of wheeling you plan to do will determine the wheels to use. Most people that play medium to hard always use 16" wheels for better tire designs, stronger side wall and less expensive tire along with the fact 16" tire will hold up much better off road and not tear out sidewalls as easily.

It's worth the few extra bucks to get the stabilizer after a lift. Also, consider how you want it to ride to determine your spring type. Then, go 275 70 18 tires on your rims.

I've got a set of 16" rims I can hook you up with for cheap if you drive a D2 and are interested.

It can more expensive to get good 18" tires than it is to get 16" rims and really great tires. It can be cheaper as the big 18" tires are so expensive.
