Looks like a good set-up 
(even leaves you room in case you want to move up to 35s)...Once installed take it for a ride and see if you have to purchase a front adjustable track bar & front adjustable lower control arms to fine tune your set-up

That is a nice balanced setup!
There is a reason the TF 2.5 kit is so popular and the IMO the Bilsteins 5100s are one of the best shocks on the market, not including the Fox shox with remote reservoirs.

just looked at the 2" mopar lift with bilstein shocks.
was the same as the set-up I'm thinking except it comes with cam bolts, front track bar and a steering stabilizer.
I think i could add those items at my leizure for less then the $700 price difference between my set-up and the mopar stuff

Good choice on setup. I have the 2.5 TF coils lift, but with shock adapters since I have a Rubi and the shocks were decent. Also running 285/70/17's, very happy with it.

people with the teraflex 2.5 coils on 2dr's....how much more then 2.5" are you getting assuming stock bumpers.....I'm a little concerned the coil lift might cause driveshaft/ skidplate issues?

If you use the TF BBL, since it is pucks added over you stock suspension, you get a true 2.5", no more no less. Use the one with shocks extension and you will be fine with up to 35", and it is cheap !! Very well done and no drilling except for the rear track bar extension bracket. I don't know about the new coil kit...
