Another lift thread... Sorry
My 2007 2dr JK sport has no lift. I bought it with 31.6 in Dick Cepek fun country tires. I don't have the money for all new bigger tires but I still want a lift. I was looking on my local craigslist and someone was selling shocks and springs off their rubicon and 1" coil spacers. I was wondering if this would do much to my Jeep or if it would look funky with an extra 2in of lift. I'm wondering what would you do? Any feedback and advice helps.

What part #s on those coil springs? I just installed 17/58 coils and Rubi shocks on my JK. I don't know how much lift I've got as I didn't take the measurements prior but now my JK sits level and I got rid of the factory rake. I say coils and spacers would be too much if you're not getting larger tires.

Look at Jk Rubies. After all what you plan to buy comes from a Rubie. And your rubber is similar as stock on a Rubie. Better ask yourself what your long term plans are. If low cost mod to appear not stock is what your after suggest: one inch front puck spacer & 1.5" wheel spacers. (If your wheels have stock backspace)

Portal axels. Larger tires are the only other way to get more clearance under the diffs. Lifts will increase break over/ approach/ departure angles but your pumpkin clearance stays the same.

The only way to get ground clearance is to increase your tire size. The axle is the lowest part of the jeep. I ran 2" spacers on 35's. It filled the fender well. I doubt it would look horrible with a 2" or less BB.
