I'm looking for an entry level lift without having to buy extras. I want to run 35s

In a year or so as I get better at wheeling and my knowledge of parts and things become more sound I will upgrade

There are are a few more things to consider than just a lift to run 35's...

Gears
C-Gussets maybe Axel sleeves

The number one mistake people make modifying their Jeeps is to jump into it too quick.
Gain the experience and parts knowledge first, then when you do decide to mod, you will be able to make the right decision based on that experience.

I'm trying to learn and understand what is what. I've never had a jeep before, so learning their upgrades and parts is foreign.

Is the coil lift with shocks better than the BB?

Can you add a body lift with a coil lift to achieve more than 2.5 inches of lift?

any coil lift is better than a BB AND more expensive. coil lifts are also more ideal when adding extra weight from bumpers, winch, larger spare tire, etc... BB use your factory coils (springs) and they are rated for factory weight. when you add more weight to a jeep with a BB, the coils tend to sag.

from my experience with both, BB also tend to ride rougher.

you can add a body lift (BL) to either a BB or a coil lift. Most people who do a BL, use a 1" BL like the M.O.R.E.

we were all beginners, once.
