Wow lot of info. Advice try breaking it up so it makes it easier to read.
Most people hear would recommend Teraflex brand. High quality and customer support. If you are not going to go rock crawling you might want to just consider the Tera 2.5.

I have the Zone Offroad 3" kit with 35s. Similar use to what you describe for about 6 months, and it works well for me. It is way cheaper than some your are looking at.
If hear good things about the other kits mentioned above as well.

I agree call Dave at Northridge. I wanted the same as you and went with the TF 2.5 coil lift , adjustable trackbars, and front lower control arms. Spent way less than $1500 and am running 35's with no issues. The ride is great.
* spring/shock lift kit (T/F or OME)
* track bars
* front lower control arms
Also consider adding:
* T/F steering stabilizer (cheap)
* sway bar links (cheap)
* JKS quicker disconnect (sorta cheap)
If you go too high you'll be looking at drive shaft and front upper control arm issues, brake line extension, etc. It would be nice if all the various paths were mapped out on a flow chart somewhere, but they're not.
Conventional wisdom is that something like a T/F 2.5" lift (which will get you closer to 3.5" on a 2-door), track bars, and front LCAs is a sensible upgrade path.
