I hope you don’t mind but I think I’m going to come really close to copying your Jeep. Haha! It’ll just be the Sahara form of it.

Other then the spacers in front did u need anything Else for the liftI've got the 2" kit from BDS. I've been very happy with it, and likely due to some sag in the stock springs, it netted at least 2.5" but more like 2.75". I also added 3/4" spacers to the front thinking I could take them out if needed. I haven't needed to, and it sits level which I prefer. Installed in April this year and no settling (yet). Cost was about $420 from Northridge, shipped free.
I don't have a ton of money to throw at this Jeep so I liked the price and reputation with BDS. Easy install with a helper. Good luck!

What bump stops did you useI run their 2" coils with a .75" spacer in front which leaves about 1/2" rear rake. You do not need new control arms with 2-3" lift but, don't let that stop you if you want something adjustable, with Johnny Joints, etc.
To complete my lift: Rancho 5000X shocks (55239, 55241), JKS track bar, rear track bar relocation bracket, 2" bump stop extensions front and rear, although the rear only needed 1.5" I passed on cutting them due to laziness
Why go 2in on the back?I've talked to a few other and am about to pull the trigger on BDS 3" front and 2" rear springs. as many on the forum will tell you, the springs don't matter near as much as the shocks do for ride quality- so if you go with rancho you'll be set.
do you know what BDS stands for? I learned from @Jerry Bransford
To account for the factory rake and level out the Jeep.Why go 2in on the back?
No spacer up front to be level. A spacer is fine, I just chose to do 1" offset and avoid the spacer. It really doesn't matter either way. Some would probably say don't do offset springs but at least in my very limited experience it's been fine.Why go 2in on the back?

What pros come with leveling out the jeep?To account for the factory rake and level out the Jeep.
I really want to see how your jeep sits with 3/2"... Can't seem to access your profile, maybe due to my low rank.
I now see what you mean. I could draw a straight line lol.View attachment 179024I have an aftermarket front bumper and full size spare tire. Currently have no backseat as I am moving so the rear may sit a little lower usually but not much.
