If you want it done right or plan on ever going off road, you will need new shocks, trackbar brackets, sway bar links, and brake line extensions. You are better off selling the BB and buying a TF 3 inch coil kit with shocks. Just my .02
You don't 'need' anything but the taller coils.
However, you will 'want':
Longer brake lines
Longer links
Longer shocks
Taller bumpstops
Adj trackbars front and rear
Front lower control arms
Rear upper control arms
The other two sets of control arms would not be a bad idea
Steering correction (flip or pitman/tb bracket)
And don't forget those driveshafts. They are both likely to fail.
Consider a body lift and flat flares before adding another 2" to the suspension.

Also, the stock springs ride poorly compared to many after market springs. I hated the way the stock springs handled on and off road. The after market springs float and lift the vehicle over obstacles compared to the oem springs squatting and compressing into every dip and bump. Even my wife notices that my JK rides better than her stock JK.
I know that you're aware that lift does not give articulation just because the vehicle is taller. Springs and shocks do (which are a part of only certain lifts). Otherwise, there'd be a lot more spacer lifts out there. And, not certain that the stock springs are so bad for ride--but that's strictly a matter of opinion. However, read the advertisements and "stock ride" is the gold standard that the aftermarket touts.
