Default Lift Suspension help advice, install this week

I have done searches and a lot of reading. I originally was installing 2.5" coil spacers to accommodate my 35" trail grapplers and 18" wheels. After research I think this is a bad way to go. Currently considering Rough Country 3.25" suspension lift, and other "bars" that I can't remember like sway, quick disconnect, etc. The installer seems to know what they are doing but I don't know the right questions to ask.

Looking for advice suggestions and general knowledge to make sure I'm doing this right.

Thanks

Well, it has:

2.5" coils with .75" spacers on top
Brake line brackets front and back
Rear Swaybar links - the stock rears will be moved up front.
Rear Trackbar bracket - to recenter the rear axle
Shocks


What it doesn't have:

Front trackbar bracket or new adjustable trackbar
Caster correction - if it handles like crap after the lift goes on, look into a set of front adj control arms
Disconnects? - If you want them, they will replace the stock rears that are being moved up front.
Driveshafts - check the angles and tranny/skid clearance. You may want to budget for them, depending...
Bumpstops - those shocks have integrated stops. If your tires rub the fenders or the coils stack, you may want to add extended stops.
