I think @Jerry Bransford is running the Rancho RS5000X shocks, so maybe a good compromise to save some caps?
I've read a lot of good things about the Rancho shocks as well. I know the OME lift is well regarded but if I can piece something together for comparable cost that is better I am happy to do that.
I don't think you could go wrong with Savvy's 3" springs and the RS5000X's. You can buy a rear TB relocation bracket from anyone. Only unknown will be if the MML will be enough to eliminate drive line vibes. May have to drop the skid a bit if you get vibes.
Most people seem to do just fine with a 1 inch MML and 1 inch BL and I will be doing both.
I ordered the Savvy 1.25 BL today on lunch it was $124 on 4LowParts
The Daystar\Performance Accessories BL was $113 on amazon so for the extra $11 I might as well give Savvy the business.

You're going all the way at once. I can't wait to see it. Sounds similar to what I'm aiming for
I feel really good about this list. I've come a long way from just buying the Zone 4.25 combo kit. Lot's of research and listening to people with experience. But at the end of the day everybody has their input and you just need to make an informed decision with cost as part of the equation. Down the road I will look into axle\re-gear options and maybe a tummy tuck which the MML\BL sets me up for.
Sounds like a great setup, you'll be really happy with all of those parts. The OME lift in particular is fantastic, I loved the way mine rode. Not to mention that at that lift height, you're not going to have to worry about spending the amount of money you would with 4" or more. That cost me a lot more than I anticipated it would!
Currie recommends 2" or more of lift. It should play nicely at 2" I believe. The worse case scenario is you might have to add some more bump stop I believe.
I think the only issue with it is the JJ end coming close to the diff, but if he keeps his CA length stock, 1" bumps should keep it clear.
Re-gear is 100% on the list at some point, but the piggy bank is empty lol.
