Quote from Local Shop
Im in the same boat......the local shop im dealing with talked me out of a BB due to decreased ride quality/handling. All prices include labor and tax:
RK 2.5 Flex Lift - $1500
Pintler wheels - $1195
Procal(speedo calibration) - $160
KM2 - $1940
Exhaust Spacer $70
Mount and balance - $80
Total $4945
Give or take $100 in that price.
Need to sell my stock wheels and tires before I pull the trigger.

2.5 coil lift with 5100s was 750 shipped... Installed myself with the help of the local jeep club.
My wheels and tires were 2200 installed from discount, including road hazard warranty, lifetime rotation and balance, etc
I sold my oem wheels for 200
I also had to buy a new driveshaft but that's bc I have a 2012, you won't need that for yours
Edit: oh yea and the procal

With just 2.5coil lift that makes no sense to me.

The operating angle of the DS is higher stock. Something like 9 degrees whereas 07-11 7 degrees.
Tom Woods site describes this.

Where in East TN? Tri-Cities or..... I ask because if you know a good place to wheel im up for it!
I put about 1500 to 2000 for a 4" lift and dual stabilizers, then about 1650 for 5 pro comp rims and 5 fierce attitude mts. If you can install your lift yourself, that's some good savings.

From everything I have read on this site, a 2.5" lift doesn't require a new drive shaft on the '12s. The threshold is three inches. The technicality lies in advertised versus actual lift since it appears many coil lifts end up lifting you an inch or more than you bargained for (at least until you add ship anchors for bumpers).

Shorter shocks limit down travel and thus would prevent the driveshaft from hitting.

In the next year or so I plan on lifting my 2010 JKU and slapping some 35s under her.
I want to do this right (thats probably terrible wording) meaning that i want to have a fully functioning suspension with no rubbing and no or minimal modifications to the body.....I dont mind to work on the pinch seam but no fender cutting.
Keeping that in mind, can i get an idea of what you guys have spent building up your Jeeps for 35s.
I also plan on only moderate trail use, no rocks so don't think I'll need to beef anything up.
I'm not concerned about gearing at this time eaither...strictly what it will take to lift it correctly.
Thanks
