Default Lift modifiation options

I'm running a Teraflex 2 1/2 spring lift ( plus Teraflex adj. front LCA's) but want to kick the height up to 3 1/2 inches. So, I'm thinking of just changing out the springs to Rock Krawler or Metalcloak and keeping the Teraflex bumpstops, sway bar connectors, and rear trackbar re-location bracket. So far, I'm adding new crown brake lines, and probably go with a rear adj. trackbar also.

This look feasible and am I forgetting something?

Body lift is another easy & inexpensive option to get to 3.5" ...

Spacer pucks on top of the springs is another option.
