Default Suspension for Jeep JK?

I got a Wrangler a few months ago and I know the first thing I'm getting is a lift. I know I want a 2.5" lift and I know that it can't be expensive. I was thinking about getting the Rubicon Express 2.5" Budget Boost Coil Suspension Kit for $380.99. Do y'all know anything better that would also get "more bang for your buck"? Also, would there be any other expenses that would be required with this lift (i.e. spacer system) or anything like that? Again, I'm not looking to spend thousands of dollars on this, so I'm looking to get a kit thats cheap and requires nothing else to be bought. Thanks

Before you look at specific kits, open and read the two threads stuck to the top of this modified area. That will explain some things, likely answer a few questions, and probably give you a dozen other question to ask that you hadn't thought of. (specifically, it would be good for you know what the various components are, and how they may be affected by certain lift heights, so that 'you' can make a more informed decision instead of just buying via popularity contest)

I spent way too much. But it's serious. 2.5" Rubicon Express, Bilstein shocks, Spidertrax spacers & 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grappler MTs. $4 large but worth every penny.

lol, my post duplicated itself, and I couldn't delete it. That was just a message for any mod that happened to see it, not to you.
