Default Lift Confusion

Hey guys i gotta stupid question. I am lookin around for a lift for 2010 JKU. I was lookin at the Rough Country 3.75" combo. It comes with a 2.5" coil springs and a 1.25" body lift. Im lookin to only run a set of 18" to 20" rim with 33" to 35" tire. My question is going with that size lift what else would i need to do for the install to be done. i.e. wheel spacers, steering stabilizer, sway bar discos and stuff like that. any info and suggestions would help or maybe a suggestion of a totally different lift. Im just on a budget but and im still kinda wondering how high a 2.5" budget boost actually gives you.

Wheel spacers depend on what the back spacing of the new wheels is.

As far as what lift to get it really depends on what you plan on using your jeep for. All pavement? Off road?

You can run a TeraFlex 2.5" BB or coil lift for those tires.

I'm running a rc 2.5 lift. Coils and shocks. I have 33s on 3.75 back spacing wheels and don't rub. I'm have jks quick discos and scored a 1010 on the RTI ramp. You can run 35s with cut fenders or flat flares. I have a buddy running 35s on a Tera flex bb lift and flat flares. Not sure his back spacing tho.

Cheapest option would be a 2.5 BB and its simple to install. Cutting your fenders looks good in my opinion and is one of the best things i like that i have done to my jeep so far just as a change in appearance.
