You can get a TeraFlex Leveling Kit for $133.99, 2" front and 1" rear with longer front swaybar links.

welcome to jk-forum. as mentioned, it's hard to go wrong with a simple budget boost like the kind that teraflex sells.

One thing to keep in mind is if you like the look of the factory rake. The rake is referring to how the front end of the jeep is a little lower than the back end. Some people like this and others put leveling kits on to raise the front. I personally like the rake and installed a 1.75" daystar bb. Here are some pics

Yea I think it was worth every penny. The only thing is the kit came with these sway bar drop brackets and it dropped the sway bar really close to my inlet pipe on the exhaust and it would clank against it and make a weird sound. Note that i do have an aftermarket MBRP exhaust. I put it back up on a lift and took off the drop brackets, checked everything else for clearance and i dont really see the need for them. Since taking them off I have had my wrangler at full flex and everything is fine. Besides the fail drop bracket the kit is really good and perfect if you want to throw some 33's on your rig.
