I read through the entire thread and found a lot of great information.
The only question I have left, since I was so convinced to go with a 4" suspension lift, would be the ride quality. Will the coil spring spacers make for a harsh ride? I'd like to keep the ride quality as stock as possible while running the bigger rims/tires.

From WayOfLife's FAQ
Q: I just installed a new suspension lift, why is my ride harsh, stiff or rough?
A: Assuming you installed new tires at the same time as your lift, there is a good chance that your tires have been inflated with a PSI that is too high. For optimal comfort and even tire wear. you should not run the recommended PSI listed on the sidewalls of your tires. Typically this will be way too much. On average for a 33" tire, I would recommend that you run your tires at approximately 28-30 PSI. For a 35" tire, I would recommend running approximately 26-28 PSI. For a 37" tire, I would recommend approximately 24-26 PSI.

Get the TF 2.5 coil lift. I have it and everything is in the kit that is needed. It rides like stock, and I have 35s underneath it. if you still wanted more height, you could add the body lift after...

If you're not going to wheel real aggressively I would keep it simple. A 2" BB with shock extensions with a 1" body lift and a quality set of disconnects. No drive line issues no need for a front end alignment and it will still have good road manners. I a sure you it will be very capable of handling pretty much all the terrain you will encounter and you'll have money left over . Just my 2 cents.
