Something to jeep in mind... Most coil lifts that say 2.5" are taller than 2.5". So if you want to stay at that height or just a little lower you may want to just go with a BB for now.
I swapped some 4dr coils in along with a BB that netted me 2.5 in the front and 2" in the rear. Trimmed the fenders and threw some 33's on.
These 2 doors are so capable...
Get some skids for your oil pan and replace the other skids when they're too damaged to run anymore.

2013 2 Door Sport Daily Driver with 27K miles around 7 months old. Started with 2" TF and 34's but wanted more. Got small BFG KO 37's (35.3) and then 4.56 gears. Now I have Metalcloak 3.5" and taller 37" M/T-R's(36.9). It rides the best now that the lift is on although Im in loaner shocks and will get my Fox 2.0 w/Resi on Tuesday. Next up will be Ripp Supercharger and front and rear Pro Rock axles.

^exactly..
I'm running the same setup with 35s KM2s (34.5") sway bar discos and bilstien 5100s. I Love it. Starting to look for a gas tank skid after the rubicon smashed up the stock but the oil pan skid was the only one i feel like I absolutely need before hitting trails.
(Pic is before the 1" spacers and 35"s when she was on 33"s):

Thanks for the info so far. I wish I had 3 Jeeps. I would fit one with 33's one with 35's and one with 37's. Of course I would have to throw in a hemi somewhere but I am getting way off my topic. I wish I had a good off road shop here. Nothing much here to cater to the 4x4 or Jeep in particular. I am going to also get involved with local guys when I get a chance. Keep the pics and ideas coming.

I've got your same config ( 2-Dr, 3.6L, Auto, 3.21) on my 2013 JK. Planning on 2.5" TeraFlex coil lift to fit 33" tires on new rims next year. Reposition your steering stabilizer above the tie rod to avoid busting it off. And do add skid plates soon.

2012 2 Door, Auto. 2.5 coil spacer lift, PSC Crusher flares, 37 KM2's and it still drives like a champ. Almost zero loss of power. Great take off power and can still get to 80mph with no problems. Off road, just as good. Just added coil spring retainers from and rear with longer shocks.

2013 Freedom Edition (3.6, Auto, 3.21). I started with a 2" Teraflex Leveling kit ($150), and added 1.75" Spidertrax Wheel Spacers ($109 per axle). I will be changing tires and rims in the future (want 305/75R17 or maybe 315/75R17 this will make the tire size around 34"). Like you mine is my daily driver but I do spend time in the woods and snow in Minnesota. Also funding from the wife unit is slow. These changes leveled out the look with a small height increase for slightly larger tires and did not break the bank. Even though I have the rubicon rock rails I am going to be adding the Ace Rock Sliders ($280) to help the wife unit get in (short). Here is what it looks like now.

Yea I love the setup too. This had all the options that I wanted including the color the only downside was the 3.21 not 3.73 gears. But this has gotten me good mileage during my daily drives (40 miles to work) averaging 20.6 mpg (computed) over 6000 miles. So until I get aggressive on tires this works for me.
