2" leveling kit questions

thinking of installing a 2" leveling kit on my mega. the kit i found has a 2" spacer made out of steel that sit ontop of coil spring and bolts to the shock tower. i want to rum 35x12.50x17 toyo opencountry mt tires on walker evans 17x8.5 wheels. now my question is what backspacing should i use for this setup? i have read about the death wobble but do not think it will effect me, because of a good quality tire and wheel combo, also i will have it aligned after the install. what about shock length? will they top out with the leveling kit. should i extend the shocks 2"? i just being cheep for the moment and want a high quality lift upgrade soon but cant wait for the looks.
