Are you willing to chop your stock flares?
Sure, I want to chop them anyway
Will you be installing the lift yourself?
Negative, I have someone who will do it for me at Pro Tires for a decent price.
How upset would you be with a little bit of 'flightyness'?
(read "what is caster? How much do I need?" in the suspension faq's)
I don't get upset. It's all a learning experience...and...it's a Jeep!
Chop you flares and get rims with less backspace, and you can run with no lift.
Or a body lift.
Or a leveling kit.
Or a 2" BB.
Or a 2.5" BB
I was going with 2" spacers, a 2 1/2" terraflex budget boost, 35's, and a spare tire extender thing,
As you go higher, the handling gets more and more flighty. Not horrible or unsafe at these heights, just noticeable. Your front axle will also be offcenter. Again, not a huge deal, just noticeable.
I'd say if I did this set up, I will be satisfied for awhile and can move on to a bumper mod, cb, etc....
Which way you go just depends on your budget and expectations.

Cool, sounds like you are on the right track with it. 
You might consider dropping a post in the Staging Area for your neck of the woods and host an install party. Buy pizza and some beverages, and use the money you saved from the install to buy a set of flca's.

!!! Ok so I just called the dealer to run my VIN 
he only asked for the last 8 so I am guessing the first bunch is standard. Guy is service said I have the 3.73's! YAY! So, that's a little better
Looks like I will be getting this little project on it's way
Will post pics once I am done, probably next week because this week is crazy, but I am still open to opinions, suggestions, etc

I think u will be ok with ur setup until u can afford to regear. Ur jeep will be very sluggish. I would put gears and at least one locker on ur list for next upgrade.
