I put a Tera flex 2.5 bb spacer and shock extensions only on now my front and rear are off center. Here's my choices not going to be doing a lot of off roading and only going to run 33's.

Alright here's my options.

Rustys 2" shock and springs $350
Rustys 3.25 $550
Or buy the rest of my kit for the Tera flex bb.... Trac bar bracket, brake extensions, and links for $130.

I'd buy the rest of the Teraflex kit and call it a day. With 33's and very little off roading, you may find you like the stock shocks and springs more comfortable/better handling on the road the the others.

I up graded my spacers to OME springs after a year or so but still run the teraflex bump stops and shock extensions with the rubi shocks. When the shocks wear out you can get someone else's brand new "take-off's" cheap and away you go. I did the rear track bar extension as well, left the front stick for now. I'm happy with my lift and the ride both on road and off road. I wheel when I get the chance, not as often as I'd like, but I think it's fine for me.

Just my humble opinion. Hope that is of some help to you.

Do you mean the axles are not centerted from side to side? If so; does the Rusty's kits mentioned come with anything to fix this (adjustable track bars or track bar brackets)? For those prices I would assume not. I had the TF 2.5 BB on mine ant the front axle was pretty much centered and once I put the rear drop down track bar bracket on so was the rear axle.

On the rusty's 2" not needed
The 3.25 comes with front and rear Trac bars would also allow me to grow on tire sizes if I decide too.

Not sure why 2" not needed 2.5 does.

Can get their Trac bars front and rear for $280

At 2" the off set axles are not enough to cause an issue. At 3" it becomes recommended, but still not critical. I wouldn't get too excited about it. For light wheeling, i'd say go with the rear track bar bracket for now and leave the front. If you do the front, go with an adjustable track bar. I'm sure you've heard about "Death Wobble" and the damage you can do to your front end. For strength, quality and potential headaches, if/when you want to do something with the front end, skip the front end bracket and go with a new bar.

If you leave the stock front track bar for now, you won't notice the difference.

It's easy to spend money on this stuff, don't feel the need to rush into it right away. Again, JMHO, hope this helps.

Best of luck!
