Just keep in mind most aftermarket coils are rated hire and can handle weight. Most level the jeep too.
It's not un-common to get more height out of a kit. (Especially if light weight ie no bumpers/winch)

Just ran Moab with a 2.5" lift and 35's with no problems. Hung pretty well with the larger tired jeeps. Filled the wheel wells a few times and scraped my rear bumper but the tires fit just fine.
