Default 2.5 inch spacer lift question

Hey everyone, about to pull the plug on a budget lift. I just noticed that the teraflex leveling kit just went up 20 bucks so I started looking at non complete kits. I found some rubicon express coil spacers for pretty cheap on amazon

They are 2.5 inch in the front which is a half inch bigger than the TF one. Is that going to give me any problems on the install.

Also the rears are either 3/4 or 1.75. Which would be better.

And am I going to need to do anything else going up 2.5 in the front. (Sway ext. bump stops etc) Will be doing pretty much nothing off-road.

Or any recommendations on a inexpensive leveling kit
Thanks

I have the rough country 2.5" spacer lift with just brake line and exhaust extensions they cost like $150 plus the $60 for exhaust spacers. I know a lot of people running this lift and love it.

The kit in White Ghost's link includes the shock and brake line extensions. The only other thing I would suggest is a rear track bake bracket.

Also be sure to recenter your steering wheel after the install.

The TeraFlex 2.5" Performance Budget Boost. Complete with all the correct parts so you don't have driveability issues.
Don't cheap out when going 2.5" if you want it to drive nice.
