I keep reading close to 5" in front and 4" in back on a 2 door. I like the Teraflex flex arm systems components alot. Their customer service makes it very hard to go with anything else. In the end one of these systems could end up on my JK if I find the others aren't closer to 4" in front 3" in back.

OME LT from Northridge
Have you looked at the OME LT system Dave is offering from Northridge. Looks like a very well thought out system that should keep you around 2.5" to 3" depending on the springs you select and the bumper / winch weight you have.

My Full Traction 3" econo lift gave me 5" in the front and 3 1/4 in the rear. And that is with a winch on the front and tool and other gear in the back. But I have an Unlimited, they might be closer with the specs on the 2 door JK's.

I however think things are missing from the ome if you go with the heavy duty springs to fit 35's on. No control arms, brake lines, sway bar links.
Start adding all those components and you could have got a complete system with out the headaches of chasing down parts from another manufacture for the same price and their engineered to work together.
I will also be buying what ever suspension system I decide on from Dave at Northridge as I like to support my areas economy as many of you do also.
Thanks

Couldn't be happier.
The only thing different I'd do is go with the OME LT shocks, and also add the coil retainers.

I have looked at the OME system first hand. My friend installed one on his JK and likes it alot, its a 2 door also. He went with the medium duty weight springs. He plans to only run 33's.He bought it from Dave at Northridge. It was the kit with the JKS track bar package included.

If you want LOW COG, throw on a 3" long arm under it.
I would say its close to 3" of lift. I do plan on trying to fit 37's under mine after the 35's are worn down. I'm thinking flat fenders and some trimming and they'll fit.
