do it!
In the exact same position you are sir. Looking at the 2.5" Tera off the NRidge Canadian site, so the USD will be a little less, comes with the coils and shocks. Going to have buy a rear trackbar adjuster bracket separate. The one from Skyjacker comes with the rear trackbar bracket in the box. I have looked at the Rock Krawler one also, going to check into whether it's cheaper to get it through them direct off their website or order it locally. You should also check out Rough Country's 2.5"
I am also on the fence on whether or not to do a budget boost with just the spacers for now. Only reason being I am looking at getting a few things at the same time, mirror relocation brackets, oil pan skid, and lastly rims for now. Not big on ruining the stock alloys so looking to get some decent looking steels.

Let me share my experience with you on this.. I too went with a BB (puck) lift and never planned on any major mods, because I just do allot of trail riding.. but; I caught the Mod Virus 
and when I added my Winch, bumper, hard Top.. by Stock springs sagged so bad I lost most of my lift.. so spend your money once.. get a coil lift.. You will get a better ride and can add smaller spacers if you add equipment later down the road.. Instead of changing your whole lift again , like I did 10 months after my 1st one...

Just think things through long and short term. Don't buy just to buy... Buyers remorse is the worst. Take an extra day or two before you pull the trigger on anything and then love it when you get it and remember to post pics!

X2 on just getting a coil lift, I too was going to get a BB or equivalent.
You wont be disappointed. I got the Teraflex 3" complete system, and am super pleased. Rides way better than stock .
