I've ran teraflex 2.5" with bilstein 5100 it wasn't bad. The bilsteins are nice. I will be doing the synergy draglink flip kit soon also. Now just bout everything I got was used and bought off the forums but all good quality and I've spent 1/4 of the money most people have.

The Teraflex 2.5" lift, I'd supplement with a JKS front trackbar and Currie front lower control arms.
The AEV is designed for rigs with heavier bumpers, and I'd supplement it with Currie front lower control arms.
The Rock Krawler kit is a great package.

Better steering, handling, longer lasting driveshafts, no immediate need for rear control arms, no rear bowing of coil springs, etc. with 2.5" than 3.5".
