Default Lift Kit Questions

Hey everyone I have a 2008 Jk Wrangler X 2DR. I was looking to put on 33" Tires and raise it around 3.5". This is my daily driver. I put about 70 miles a day on it going back and forth to NYC on highway and beat up local roads. On the weekends I do take this wheeling so there is a real need for 33's and a lift kit. I want some advice on who to get from and what kind of lifts. I also noticed many lift kits had only the coils. If i get a kit that only includes coils i also have to buy new shocks as well? And what is the difference between short arm and long arm kits. I want to stay away from body lifts and do a suspension lift. Im new to the jeep world so all advice is welcomed.

You can fit 33's stock, or throw some spacers under it for fender clearance.

IM0 3.5" is to tall for a two door JK. The ride will suffer at that height.
