I know there is a million posts on this kind of stuff but i really want to make sure im going in the right direction. very new to jeep's and lifts etc. this is what im thinking about doing, all comments and suggestions are welcome.
-Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with shocks
-Procomp 7005 rims (17x8)
-Cant choose between km2/mt/r.(35x12.50x17)
-3/4" coil spacers.
60% road ( still a DD) most off road is dirtroads, MUD, not so much the huge rock climbing i see on here olny mild rocks. any input on better tires or choice of parts would help i have a 2009 2dr 6spd x btw thanks for all the help in advance .

Sounds good. I highly recommend 5.13s with 35s and auto. I had the same problem deciding b/w km2's and mtrk's. Went with the mtrk's because of the tougher sidewalls. I am extremely happy with them.

I would be careful adding anything on top of the 2.5" since youre going to net about 3" anyway...just check your ds boot once in awhile to be safe. I know you said you dont disconnect and flex much, but it could still cause problems eventually.

significant rake because of the weight of your other gear. If nothing
else, hold off on those spacers until you get everything else together
and see whether you really still need them or not (and if you do, what
size you really need).
Remember: More lift drives the need for other mod's, and that TF
2.5" coil kit already gives about 1/2 to 1" extra (which you lose when
you weigh it down with gear, I guess).

What stlfan06 said!
TF coils are tall. On a light 2door, you may be closer to 4" than to 3". If you are adding spacers on top, be sure to browse the relevant sections of the faq's.
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 4" lift?
(pay attention to the driveshaft cautions...)
And definitely this one:
Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?
(not that you will need any/all of the components, but it's good to be aware of them just in case...)
