Default BDS Lift kit Question

I am thinking of purchasing a BDS Lift for my JK it a 2010 sport 4 dr 4 wd and is bare bones stock. I am thinking of 3 to 4 in lift i know BDS makes a good lift kit i had a 6 in lift on a 96 tahoe with 35 nitto mud grappler tires and 18 in wheels it rode like a dream. I havent seen anyone post up on here with a BDS lift for there JK. I really could use the info please. my jk has 3:21 gears and 18 in tires i believe the tire size is 285 x 75 x 18 its an automatic. Clayton is my other option too, another topic is gears im thinkn of going with 33 or 35 in tires and 17 in wheels. What would be better for gas mileage 4:88 or 5:13 for power too. To keep weight down im thinkn of going with Iceland offroad jk winch bumper it is fiberglass and would keep the weight down too. I seen pics of what they will do in a accident there ALMOST indestructable. Less fatique on the front springs too. So please give me some info im not new to jeeps but am to some companies, but dont want my jeep to look like a million out there ( LMAO ).

bds is a good lift from what i've heard. they push them pretty hard here in idaho. they make a 2, 3, 4.5, & 6 for the jk's from what i remember when i was looking. if you go over 4 they told me i would be replacing drivelines and it was adding up quickly. you might also look at "zone" if your thinking bds. it is there sister company and will save you some money for similar parts. they make a 3" and a 4" zone is also a brand that a local dealership here sells so it must not be too bad.
