Default first lift help

I've decided to go with one of these kits. Any thought on pros or cons between the 2. I'm running 285/75/17 BFg mud with Kevlar on pro comp wheels. I'd like as much lift as I can get for around the 500. I liked the reputation that rock krawler has on their 2.5 lift butnit doesn't come with shocks and I'm pretty sure the bump stops are weld on and extra. As far as I know both the tf and rustys have everything I need in the kits. also for the price the 3 or 4 inch zone kits look good but im not sure if they have everything ill need and if they are any good. theres also the daystar 3inch kit....id like to stay away from a spacer. ugh so many options lol. Any help would be great!

X4 on the Teraflex lift! But beware, if you go 2.5" with shocks you will trash your front driveshaft boot when you flex it to the max.

I dont know squat about JKs but have been looking at a small lift just to compensate for the weight in the jeep. My Rub is 2.5 inchs lower than my wifes Sahara. The wieght is from the front bumper, dual battery, and winch, rat pack tool box packed with tools, (600lbs) in the rear. I need to add air to at some point, too.
So here is my questions, since I had been a Bowtie guy for 25years, how much lift can you add to a JK rub unlimited before steering, brake lines, abs wires, driveshafts, need to be replaced...
