Looking for advice
This is what I am looking at putting on my jeep while I am on deployment. If anybody has any suggestions or advice please don’t hesitate.
All of this will be going on a 07 Sahara unlimited 4 door.
Front bumper rugged ridge with winch mount and prerunner guard.
Rugged ridge heavy duty rear bumper
2.5" lift (cant decided on which one...rough country, terraflex, OME any help would be cool on this one!)
rugged ridge RRC side armour guards
rugged ridge windshield light mount brackets with hella black magic lights
recon front and side fender turn signals
Procomp Xtreme alloys series 7089 16x8
BFG'S Mud terrain T/A-KM LT255/85 R16
Seatglovers......and a bunch of other stuff I mean I could go on for days.
Again I am just looking for advice like what works best for a daily driver set up
Thanks in advance!

You have nice list of toys to play with. 
Your 3 lift choices are all good quality and a bunch of folks on this site are happy with each of the 3 lifts you have listed. I installed the OME with adj front and rear track bars and I like the ride both on road and off. You can't go wrong with any of your 3 lift choices. Call up David at Northridge 4x4, he will help you decide which will work best for you.

i agree that all three lifts are good choices. I have the TF bb and for the price i have no complaints. Just curious though why you are going with that size tire? I am running 305/70R16 and have room for bigger. Just dont want you to get tires too small and not be happy with them.

on the 2.5 inch lifts there is really no difference in quality since they all use spring pucks....ride quality won't change much because your using factory components....the only differences will be applied to the shocks you get....what a good thing to look for is a kit the offers a .5 inch more lift in the front compared to the back, this give it a nice leveling out....with my 2.5 inch lift I used Rubicon Express
I like those recon lights, might get me some for my front grill signals

Not so much anymore man. Terra and RC both have 2.5 spring lifts now, with shocks.
...so it depends on what your spending

Sounds like you have a pretty good plan. I have the Rough Country 2.5" spring lift and love it. May I ask why you decided to go with the skinny 255x85x16 size instead of a 33x12.5? Just curious, I know it may fit your type of wheeling better.........

Well I did it! I finally pulled the trigger on a lift kit. I bought a 2 in OME lift with front and rear JKS trackbars
Then I bought some new seat covers and I am going to be purchasing the Rugged Ridge bumper....man my bank account hates me!
