Ok, Here is what I decided to start with. All kits are Rough Country.
2.5" suspension lift with springs and preformance 2.2 shocks
1.5" wheel spacers
1.25" body lift.
I am currently running smaller then stock 265/70r17 BFGoodrich All-Terrian T/A tires.
I think that this may look a little goofy at first, but it leaves open the possibly of upgrading to 35" soon.
Any thoughts or comments

Guess I'd have to ask how soon is 'soon' and how good is the 'possibility' of going to 35's?

Nearly 4 inches of lift with little 31x10 tires will, as you said, look quite goofy.

Also, you might look into dropping down to a 15 or 16" wheel/tire package instead of spacers. Unless you are really attached to those stock rims.

The reason for the smaller then stock tires is that I did not like the off road grip of the stock Goodyears and the BFG's were new and free from my job

I'd skip the Body lift even with 35s. With a 2.5" lift, there is plenty of clearance. These fenderwells are huge.

sounds good. thats what i've got, but mine is 2,5" coil spacers still...
will upgrade to springs after installing the bumper and winch.
don't forget to ask them about jk-forum discount, and i also would get sway bar disconnects if you don't have it..
