How I would spend it:
$349 for Rusty's 2" coil spring lift with shocks
$ 99 for Teraflex Quick Disconnects
$ 30 for Front 3/4" spacers to level it out.
$100 for a pair of Rusty's front and rear diff skid plates
$123 for a Rancho oil pan skidplate (available in two weeks)

geeez... no kidding... i would expect a cappucino machine at least and a little guy to run out and start my jeep for me every morning...
personally... i would get the TF 2.5" BB without shock extension and front and rear adjustable trackbars... with the extra cash, you could pick up some nice skyjacker or rancho gas shocks...
alternatively... you could just mail me the 700.00 and i promise i would post pics to show you what i would buy for my JK

Well thats what I get for not reading the whole post, I saw 35's and thought you already had the lift....yeah I would definately do the lift to get you some more clearance....
and don't discount the gears for your next mod, no matter how hard you wheel lower gears help (it really is all about the gearing), and if you are running 35's on 3.21 gears with an automatic, you are not doing your drivetrain any favors......

best bang for the buck...
~ $20.00 Ebay ProComp 1.75" budget boost lift (easy to install. i did it)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-...spagenameZWDVW
if you dont win this auction, there are several for about $108.00 shipped
spend the rest on those gears & installation.
all for $700.00 or less.
any left over, put it towards skid plates or sliders

You have the 1" BL, it does NOT count as part of the lift total relative to needed new shafts, track bars, etc...because it doesn't affect the suspension of frame height.
So - I'd get the 2.5" TF BB with shocks....as the shocks it comes with are for the 3" Suspension Lift Kit...and should give you some more articulation.
If adding a lot of weight, IIRC, TF is adding a HD coil to replace the coil spacer on the 2.5" lift....and smaller spacers could the be added as needed, if necessary, to compensate for sag, et...down the road.
A set of sliders would be next....gives something to hi-lift from, helps to protect on break over angle, etc.
Skid plates would be next, because, you will NEVER lift high enough to NEVER hit stuff under there.
Once you are on 35's, with a 2.5" SL and 1" BL, and armored, there won't be TOO many places you can't go, and, you should be set up for a lot of fun.

If I got a 2.5 BB kit I would go with the TF 2.5 and shocks. Wheres the cheapest place to get the TF 2.5 kit and what are some good shocks? There shocks? The only reason I have no lift is because everytime I have money I can't decide what I want or everything I need in the kit for it to be complete.
I thought about the Warn rear bumper and I could get the tire carrier later. I have the Warn front bumper and I thought about others for the back but I think I'll just stay the same brand. I think the back bumper is around $600.
