#1 Question: What are your future plans with the Jeep?
-Tire size desired
-Do you wheel it? (Terrain Light/Moderate/Extreme)

Your ideal lift height is 2.5" - Not much of a need to swap to adjustable control arms, track bars, etc... 2.5" allows you to easily fit 35" tires.

Good luck

With a 4" lift you'll have plenty of room for 35's when you go wheelin. It'll still handle well on the street, depending on whose lift you use. If you ever want to go bigger, you'll have room as well.

Checkout zone offroad 3" lift looks pretty complete for 35s. I was thinking of RC 3.25" but they use 2.5" coils and .75" spacers all around to yield 3.25".

I run the RC 3.25" on my unlimited and have had it for almost 3 years and 43K miles.
It has been great for a daily driver. 35's in the summer and the stock 31's in the winter.
I did not have to add anything more than was in the kit and it has been fine but no wheeling.
If you have the 2 door I believe from posting you may need to be a bit more cautious as the shorter wheelbase may have different results.
My 2 cents.

I highly recommend the RK 3.5 mid arm flex, handles great on and off road. I'm running Blistien 5100 shocks too. You won't be disappointed.
