Need and want are very different..

U would need track bars, longer shocks, longer brake lines or some extensions, bumpstop extensions, andlonger sway bar links all around.
I would want at least front lower control arms to dial in caster in addition.

I'd say all complete lifts, like ft,TF,rk,etc will give u a zero problem, better than stock ride. The lift will prob Hirt mpg considering u are raising it, effectively changing the aerodynamics.
Most ppl don't buy a jk for the mpg rating... Tires Hirt mpg the most.

Do yourself, and ur wallet a favor and do quite a bit of reading/ research on here before u buy anything.

Buy it all once and do it right from the get go.

Here's a TeraFlex 2.5" coil/shock kit that works great with 33"-35" tires.
