Default 1st post - suspension

Hello everyone, great site here! I am in the process of looking into buying a new 2013 Unlimited Sport with 3.73's. I would like to lift the JKU, but it will be a daily driver with only some mild trail use when camping, no rock crawling or hardcore stuff. I have done a ton of research on this forum and it sounds like my best option would be for a Teraflex 2.5 coil lift. However, I am tempted to stay with 33's and go with
33x12.5-15 tires and 15x8 wheels. Looking into this, some have managed to stay under 70lbs a tire/wheel combo, where as a 35" tire and wheel would be closer to 85lbs. It seems to me I could easily loose 3-4MPG going to 35's. Anyone have any real life experience with this on an Ulimited with the 3.6L. Any sugestions and pictures of current setups are always welcome too.

Also, will I need to change the front driveshaft on the Unlimited with the Teraflex 2.5 coil lift?

PS: I have owned a CJ7, YJ, and a FJ (fake jeep) in the past.
