If you plan on doing any real off road stuff, definately go for the full susp lift

x2... if you're on a tight budget just get the 2.5 coil lift with shock extensions. You can always upgrade to the 5100s later on.

With the coils, you can build on it by adding trackbars, control arms, shocks, etc. later to end up with a suspension system that works. The spacers are a bad idea unless you plan on stopping there. TF is a good brand. Cross shop that with Rock Krawler and Full Traction to see where you money goes the furthest.

David at NorthRidge4x4 can hook you up with a great price and free shipping. That's where I bought my TF 2.5 coil lift from.

Coils for sure. With spacers you don't get any additional suspension travel.
