Default 35's or 37's for jk 2 door

I like the look of the 37's but not sure if it's worth all the extra work and money needed to make it run right.

That's something only you can decide. Figure out what it takes by searching for 37" threads. For me it will be as I need every inch of diff clearance possible here.

What's worth it or not to you may or not be worth it to someone else and vice-versa.

true..I really don't go anywhere else but the beach and sometimes backwoods. What did you have to do to make the 37's work on your rig?

Some beaches don't allow tires over 37" and you will have to upgrade driveshafts depending on the size lift. You would Probably get 4-4.5" with MAYBE a BL?

Teraflex 3" or 4". 3" should net you about 4" of lift. If you plan on bumpers and a winch, go with a 4". OR, what I would do is a 2.5" teraflex lift, 1" BL, trimmed pinch seam, bump stops, and flat flares. No need for drive shafts on a manual with this set up
