Default HELP NEEDED ON LIFT for fairly new jeeper

Alright I know there are a ton of lift threads on here but none that I have read address my question
Im looking at ordering the TeraFlex 4" LCG Long Arm Suspension System with SpeedBumps since this will be used on a daily driver. The other thing I wanna do is do it right the first time so I don't have to do it again?
My questions are:
1. What are speedbumps?
2. Everyone is talking about EVO sleeves, gussets, and coilovers; what are they and how do they apply to this particular lift and which ones should I get? I've heard something about them being adjustable?
3. What else do I need? Shocks springs and etc.......by the way I want the best quality and because I'm single and don't have kids money isn't that big of an issue (please dont take this as sounding snobby)
4. Will this set up let me run at least 37's?
5. Will I need to re-calibrate?
6. What's the most amount of verticle travel this set-up will yield?

I really appreciate the help and everyone's opinion.

Not 100% sure but I'm guessing speedbumps are the same as bump stops?? If it's the same thing they limit the amount of travel to help from tearing up your fenders, sleeves and gussets you can choose whatever brand you want but offroad evolution (Evo) is pretty popular, I don't know much about the particular lift but by looking it should say if it comes with coils and shocks, you should also look to see if it comes with trackbars front and rear or some kind of trackbar brackets, longer sway bar links also will be needed, if you disconnect you'll need a new driveshaft, the front if a 4dr a rear if 2dr, I'd look into an Evo drag link flip kit also, yes you should recalibrate to adjust for new tire size and you should be able to run 37's but you may need flat fenders also 37's will need new gears

If you get the teraflex 4" LCg kit it comes with everything you need. You will need driveshafts and if it's mainly a dd then you don't need sleeves for axles and as far as gussets I done little offroading on rocks and had no problems. I do have them just needing to install. I run 37x12.50x17 and only trimming is corner of plastic part under front bumper and rubicon factory rockrail. On shocks if you get other than Teraflex make sure there for 4-6" lift not the 2.5"-4" as I made mistake of getting. This kit comes with quick disconnects so you can use them or electric disco on swaybar. If you have any questions that I Didnt touch on just pm me ill be happy to answer.
