Default OME HD coils w/ RE 2" BB + monotube shocks for 35's?

So I bought my 2007 4dr Rubicon with a RE 2" BB + monotube shocks already installed & stock Rubi tires/wheels. I'm upgrading to 35's & have searched on this forum & the general opinion is that 35's will be a bit tight w/ the 2" BB. My question is can I keep the coil spacers & monotube shocks & swap out the stock coils for the OME HD coils? I think that should give me plenty of clearance for the 35's. I am prepared to swap out for adjustable front lower CA's & adj track bar. Will this setup work well or should I scrap the coil spacers altogether & get a taller 3-4" coil lift kit to fit the 35's?

Note: I currently have stock bumpers, but am planning to add both front & rear new bumpers in near future (+ winch + tire carrier & fullsize spare), so there'll be some extra weight both front & back soon. My Jeep is a daily driver, so I need a civilized ride, but I want the ability to wheel on occasional moderate trails.

All opinions welcome. Thanks!

Why not just go with the OME lift. You will get about 3" of lift and with some bump stops you will have no problem with 35" tires. If you add the OME to the 2" pucks you will have over 5" of lift.
