I wouldnt want to sit more than 2 inches higher with rubi 32's. It just doesnt look right. A 2.5 budget boost would be ideal because it will sit around 2 inches higher than stock when you have the weight of the bumpers. The down side is its not the smoothest ride and you wont have the best possible off road performance. The Teraflex 2.5 coil kit performs incredibly and has a smooth ride, but sits around 3.25 inches high which is way too much for stock tires.
My advice would be to go with a Rough Country 2.5 coil kit. It has everything you need in it and will have about 2 inches of lift with bumpers, and full offroad articulation. It is also priced right and will leave enough room when you move up to 33's.

TF 1.5" Performance leveling kit, Thanks to "gpwpat":
I just installed mine. Just under 40 min. I didn't even have to take the tires off. Just the shock bolts, and sway bar bolts and jack it up one side at a time on the frame with a jack and the springs fall right out. saved alot of time not taking the tires off. from ground to under the front fender I am at 38" in the front and 37" in the rear. I am on stock rubicon tires. it looks level and looks alot better. This is the ride height jeep should have delivered stock. And maybe they did I can't rember. But I got alot of sag after installing the bumpers. should sit perfectly level after I get a winch. Good kit for entry level while I save up for tires and a real lift.
here are some pictures after.

I really like my BDS 3" lift with upgraded 9500 Series Shocks. Ask yourself do you want larger tires for looks or do you want an upgraded suspension that will fit larger tires? A coil lift or body spacer will allow for larger tires but does not improove your supension ride.

I like the 32" wheels, but I want a real front bumper that is not made of plastic, and get a winch.
So I am in the market for a small real lift (coil) to level the front and get just a touch of a lift 1.5"-2" at the same time.
(and maybe one day get 33", we will see a about that).
I think that I will go with the TF 1.5" Performance (coil) leveling kit.

The suspension ride is more important then anything.
