Default Axle, Gears, Lockers and Lift

I am just a novice to the Jeep building process, but I was hoping to get some suggestions for my next project. I just recently added on to my 2011 JK Sport, the Poison Spyder rear bumper with tire carrier and the LOD rock sliders. Come October/November I would like to upgrade my front axle to at least a dana 44. When I buy the axle, I would like to know which lockers and gears that come with the axle, that way I can match the rear with the same gears and lockers. At the same time, I would like to also get a 3" long arm lift, just unsure of which to get. Any suggestions? I did a little research and looked at some G2 axles and the teraflex 3" long arm.

for up front, i personally would recommend an arb locker as it is selectable and way stronger than a factory locker. regarding lift's, with just 3", you really don't need a long arm kit as the factory arms are quite long as they are and do quite well to provide a good ride. just trying to save you some money
