First, I'm a rookie, first time Jeep and 4x4 owner. I have a stock 2010 Sport that I want to eventually lift. Budget constraints require a Daystar 2" lift kit for now. If I do this, what extra parts/work are needed? Do I need to replace any shocks, struts, or springs? What about the driveline? Do I need to do any mods there? Also, I'm going to need new tires before winter, would like to upsize, and am looking at the Falken Rocky Mountain ATS LT245/70R16. Can I install these before I lift the Jeep, or will clearance be a problem?

As you can tell, I have lots of questions considering that I'm new to this. I've searched the forum for the answers, but they are scattered about, and sometimes not specific to what I'm asking. Sometimes it's easier to get advise to multiple questions by starting a new thread.

245/70/16 WILL fit with NO LIFT. I currently run Destination AT's in this size with no lift and they perform well I do get MINOR rub on full lock other than that MAKE SURE TO GET AN ALIGNMENT other wise they'll rub like hell.

An alignment after just installing new tires won't help and isn't necessary unless your out of alignment specs to begin with.
